The following is a summary ministry report and family concerns from : January - March 2006 :
Ministry:
I am actively involved in the Homeless ministry on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursday. The focus of the ministry is sharing the Gospel with the Homeless and helping them grow towards and understand God's intentions for their lives, using the principles of Luke 2: 52. Through the ministry we have seen the Lord changing the lives of the Homeless and leading to take practical steps to better their lives.
Family:
We give God the Glory for our health and His daily provision. Florence is doing well in School. She is doing her bachelors in Nursing at West Suburban College of Nursing in Oak Park, Illinois. She is a full time student and expected to graduate before the end of 2007.
Family/Ministry Van:
In His Service,
Finances:
In January by God's Grace we were able to purchase a used minivan. I took the van to your friend John Hiller to look at the engine and other areas concerning its condition. He confirmed that the engine is sound very good. However, we will need to take it back to him to do a thorough check. Please we will need your assistance to enable him do a thorough diagnosis on the van which may include working on the breaks.
We give God the Glory for His consistent daily provision for the family. Our monthly finances is very low. Every month is a challenge for us to go through. We hope the Lord will lead us to have a stable regular income in the near future. Your ministry's monthly support is tremendous help to our family. Our son John Jr. autism situation is a major challenge to us especially in the area of finance and his care. He will be six years in June and he is still non-verbal. He attend a special school for autistic children and also has a behavior therapy program on weekly basis. Please do remember him in your prayers.
