Nolan is very special. He is very athletic and can wear me out fast. My wife and I have decided that we will help support him this year. Last year we got to play some baseball together and he is quite the hitter. If you feel led to help assist Nolan or any of the other children at the Greenfield Children's home please click on the link(Meet Nolan) (the title of this blog post) You can navigate around from there. Nolan has a sister Shenice and she is at the home also.

Dave returning with the boys from a fishing trip, David and Ricky live at the Greenfield Children's home. All these boys like most any boys their age like to have fun. They play soccer and some baseball. I am really starting to miss them, I can't wait to get back. If you want to help these guys out, why not donate , if you skip just a cup a coffee a week you can make a huge difference in the life of a child.

This guy was great the first year I was in Roatan. His name is Curby and he likes to help out. He made a great assistant and was always ready for anything we needed. This year, Curby was not living at the home any longer. I am not going to get into the story, as I only know second hand and it may be rumor. However I did hear that he has a possibility of getting a visa to go and study in the United States. I pray that works out for him. Tom and I fell in love with this guy last year, I was looking forward to seeing him. I will keep you in my prayers Curby. If you want to help children like this why not donate to them, every little bit helps.

Only you can help. I can tell you that these kids need support. They don't need American items or gifts, they need clothing, food, school supplies, and tuition. The cost of supporting each child is something that we can do together. The cost may be more then any ONE of us may be able handle, but together we can change a life. We can provide some food, a pair of shoes, a shirt, some pants. You might think you have no extra money to part with, but really what does that mean? If I can skip a cup of coffee each week, or skip a lunch each week, I can give that money to these kids. They need it, they deserve it. For me these are not just children on a TV commercial late at night, they are part of my family. I love them just as my own kids.

Tim was checking the lay of the land with Sarah and David.

The first time back at the Greenfield's Children home was difficult to take on. It was the first time since Virginia had passed, Brad and Debbie had left under difficult conditions for all involved and they took the one girl that they had adopted. I still pray for them and especially the little one. The building itself is in tough shape, it could be much worse I suppose. but from what I remembered from last year it was understandable a bit run down. The Board has hired back the groundskeeper and his family. I am not too sure how he has been on site, So I think it will take some time for him to get caught up. As far as the children, there are 12 now, 5 had been adopted to two different families from what I understand. Those two families are related and live near each other, so that will be great for those five kids. The oldest Mario is up in the States working on getting into some schools of his choice. I saw him at church right before the trip, It was nice to see him. I understand ...

Just back from Roatan, I will soon be back posting some of the days events. Overall the trip was successful, we delivered clothing, and supplies, fed the kids bodies and souls. did more construction work at the Greenfield Children's Home. For the the theme that kept coming up was we are not on our schedule, but on God's!
