MORE HOUSING

We need more housing to take in more children and have room for more staff. With $35,000 we can finish this needed building. Please mark your donation - whether big or small - with "building fund". Details on the DONATION and CONSTRUCTION pages.

SERVE IN MALI - SHORT OR LONG TERM

In a few weeks, our last young, single helper will leave us for good, and after 14 months of having young volunteers, and profiting from the huge difference that makes, there won't be one around.

Serving on our base is a life-changing experience, a chance to grow and learn and fall in love, and to make a huge difference in the kingdom of God.

If you have a few months or many months to give away, why not give them to God for a season in Mali? Come change the lives of these former street children and as-yet street children, as well as the little ones born into our household.

What is required? Willingness to serve and learn and give your time, energy and heart.

If you're interested, please email me. Email me also if you'd like to get in touch with any of our previous volunteers to find out more.

 

 

NEW US OFFICE & BOARD MEMBERS

Healing 2 The Nations International's US office has returned to the town and state where it was first incorporated - Augusta, Georgia. We've been going through a hard season of having to relocate every half year or so, and I can only hope and pray that this is the last move for a long time.

Please update your address books with our new address:

PO Box 543
Evans, GA 30809

Our new office phone number is 866-851-7962 where you reach our new secretary Sylvia Berry. Our new treasurer - working in the same church office - is Anne Hatcher.

The board of directors for H2TNI consists of 6 board members (excluding me) who each serve for 3 years. We're pleased and excited to welcome our 2 new board members: Sheila McHenry pastors a church in Valencia, CA, and Jeff Struss Jr. pastors the Lynchburg House of Prayer in Lynchburg, VA. Thank you for your service and for being a blessing!

QUICK NEWS

  •        New Children's Center - Because of our financial situation, the opening of our new children's center in Sévaré has been put on hold for now.
  •        New Family Member - On July 30 Rosalie (one of our cooks) had her fifth child and fourth son Natanael. Our family is growing!
  •        Fanta's Husband - Thanks for praying for this situation. Seybou (who returned after 2 years away) has found a job offsite and only comes to our base once a week over night. This arrangement seems to work best for everyone, and I'm praying it continues.
  •        Financial Needs - A big thank you to those of you who responded to our desperate situation and sent money. We're thankful to have friends and supporters like you, and a God who knows and provides. We're now spending hundreds, even thousands, of dollars on tuition, school supplies and uniforms. Any help with that would be very welcome.
  •        Construction Progress - We have been working on our third house, and thanks to Yakou the quality of work has improved. We've now run out of money to continue work, and are praying for more to come in so it can be finished as soon as possible.
  •        Electricity - In July our Dutch friend & electrician Anco came to install additional solar panels and other equipment to increase our capacity significantly. Since then we've been very thankful to have power (almost) every night - even though it's rainy season. And the city is finally bringing electricity all the way out to us. Praise God!
  •        Family Changes - Last time I reported that Daouda (11) had returned. By now he has left again - for the third time this year. Also, our great helper Eva had to leave unexpectedly after only a few short weeks, which was a great loss for us. She'll be in school these next 3 years, and then hopefully back to stay. A few weeks ago Matthias, an Austrian student, came to stay with us over summer, and he's been a great addition to our family.
  •        Our Americans - Yakou (Ray), Mimi and Julie have now been in Mali for nearly 4 months and have settled in amazingly well. Their Bambara abilities are constantly improving, while they interact with people on and outside our base. Their service has been invaluable, with "suddenly" things getting repaired and a garden appearing "out of nowhere". Keep praying for them, and especially for Julie as she starts school soon.
  •        Summer Activities - This summer we have not done as many special events as last year; instead I focused on improving our children's French and English skills, teaching them every day, as well as helping our little ones to grow in their writing abilities. I've also been teaching our white team members to improve their Bambara skills. Finally, we've been working daily on getting more of Bible Pathway translated into Bambara and the Old Testament recorded in Bambara. We've kept busy!
  •        My Book - My book can now be ordered from all over the world. Just click on the link on the left side.
  •        Personal Assistant Needed - Email me if you're young, female and single and are interested in this great learning experience.

 

 

God bless you and keep you, God smile on you and gift you, God look you full in the face and make you prosper. (Num 6:24-26, MESS)

 

Loving HIM,
