Hello Everyone, I just have to say that I have continued to be blown away by the support I have received. It really is such a blessing to hear about all the people who are praying for me and supporting me financially. Receiving letters and email of encouragement is always amazing. I thank you so much.

Hey Everyone, thanks for your prayers and support. The last weekend has been very eventful. I went to the US, a Marlies game, and Canada’s Wonderland. The Afterschool program is going awesome. We have an amazing facility, great street leaders (youth hired from the community to help) and plenty of kids. We actually have more kids than we can take, which is both a blessing and disappointing. Please pray for us as we continue to become friends with these kids, and as we deal with the ones that need more attention than others.
Have a great day! – Nathan
