This past week, we were blessed with two new children at the Rhino Youth Home, Lupawo (11) and his half-sister Siya (7). They have been faithfully attending Soweto Baptist Church for years with their grandmother and are also students at Bay Baptist Academy. Tragically, both of their mothers were killed by their boyfriends, leaving their grandmother to raise them.

The area where they lived has always been high risk, but recent events have made it even more dangerous. Amy and I have known for a couple of years that these children would likely come to the Youth Home, but we didn’t realize it would happen so soon.

Please pray for a smooth transition for these two precious children. Our prayer is that the Lord will use us to raise them up to do great things for Him. Also, pray for our finances, we need to raise at least $125 per month per child to help cover the costs of their care.

I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have helped make the Rhino Youth Home and Camp Rhino possible. We could not have done this without your support.

During our final weeks in the States before returning in May, three churches went above and beyond in their generosity: Eastern Avenue Baptist Church in St. Cloud, FL, Oakwood Baptist Church in Anderson, SC, and Bethel Baptist Church in Richmond Hill, GA. God used them in a special way to provide for building projects that still needed to be completed.

I also want to thank Bethel Baptist Church for the special offering they sent this past month. At times when we’re not sure where the funds will come from, it has been amazing to watch God provide through these churches and many others like them at just the right time.
