GYR Prayer Partners

 
Psalm 135:1-3, Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise Him, O servants of the LORD, You who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God! Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

We have been asking you to pray for our finances and it would appear that you have been doing just that. Yesterday the Lord provided what we needed. So today we are singing our praises a little louder. I for one am breathing a sigh of relief, even as I think, God is Good.

Our 25th anniversary open-house was awesome. It was so great to see everyone. Jody Brown, founder of Glenhaven, was here. He shared with us about the early days and how Glenhaven came to be.

HOUSE-PARENTS - We have hired a couple Brian and Pam to train as house-parents. Brian and Pam have had an offer on their house. They made a counter offer. Now they are waiting for a response. Please continue to pray for this process.
We still need two other couples to fill all of our houses with kids.
Hardings, Swaffords, & Candy Davids

About Last Saturday. . .

 
Wow! What a great day we had on Saturday. If you missed it know that we missed you. And if you were here thank you for coming. We were honored to have Jody Brown here he talked to us about what it was like in the early days when he, his wife Cindy, and their two kids, Dana and Joey, first came to Glenhaven. Dana also shared with us some of her fond memories of the old days.

We were also honored by the presence of former residents, former staff members, and a host of GYR friends and volunteers. We worshiped the Lord together. We ate together. And each of our staff got to share about what they do to impact the lives of our kids during the open house. 



It was a great day. I would like to mention a couple of people by way of saying THANKS to them. Scott Manuwai, operations manager, and Warren Granberry for their wonderful work preparing the property. It was beautiful out here, thanks. Candy Davids for her hard work in the kitchen. The food was wonderful, thank you. Many people served and cleaned and straightened stuff, thank you to all. Finally thank you Jesus for a wonderful day with all our friends.


Living for Jesus,

Dwayne Webb
