Dear Friends and Family,
I have been remiss in keeping you posted. Please accept my apology.
We had a wonderful time at the Love For Life Banquet! The program, including speakers Carol Everett and Lisa Rush with music by Strings of Grace and special music by Danny Myers, was great! The food prepared by Lupita Criado and her group from Hosanna Baptist Church was absolutely wonderful. We also had ice cream provided by Keith Shearrer of Kaleidoscoops. Everything was wonderful!
Over $13,000 was raised that night and we received commitments of over $1,200 per month to follow.
I am so excited! It is starting to look like we may be able to open soon. Please be in prayer for specific things.

Pray that:

• We will receive additional funds needed to purchase property and open the center.
  
• More ladies will hear God’s voice and step up and volunteer to serve at the pregnancy center.
  
• Other workers, men and women will be ready to do the work needed on the building God gives us.
  
• We will choose the right building/property that God has waiting for us.

I have found a small house on a large lot that I think may be a good location and starting building for us. It is small, about half the size we expect to need; so we will need to add on or possibly get another building on the same property at some point in the future. We could even possibly use this first building for a thrift store (at a later time) that could help provide income for the center and a place where we could distribute clothing to the mothers for their babies after adding another larger building fro the pregnancy center. Many Pregnancy Centers are now doing this with great success. Here are some pictures of the property I looked at. I believe it can be purchased for less than the asking price (possibly $50,000). In that case if we chose this house, we would only need another $35,000 to make the purchase. Please be in prayer.
