Hello again. I know it has been over two weeks since our last prayer letter. Alot has been happening here. Last week was crazy. When we talked last we were getting ready to go to Colorado. The trip went great. Lots of good stuff spiritually for all involved. We were all drawn closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your prayers were answered. It rained alot. We hiked wet and cold at times. People were sick. One young man had to go to the ER for a cut on the first night. But through it all God ministered to each of us, through nature, through teaching, and through each other. Thanks for your prayers.
When we returned it seemed that everything went crazy. Last week was extremely busy. Everything from moving the boys to dealing with staff issues. Thanks for praying.
Jeff Rice and his family have moved to NW Arkansas. He has taken a teaching position at a private christian school. He is in a non-traditional accrediting program. Please pray for him, Leigh Anne and their two sons.
Christina Manuwai has stepped up to the lead role in our school. She has alot to do in a short time.
School is starting so remember each of our kids as they start a new year: Matt, Christian*, Erika*, Jessyca, Brittany, Julie, Marissa, Javon, Justin, Anna, Stevie, & Hunter
* Christian will be starting college on Thursday.
* Erika has returned home to her mom.
Please remember Vern and Betty Marlow from Hot Springs Village. They both mean a so much to each of us here at Glenhaven. Vern has been battling cancer. He will enter hospice care today or tomorrow.
Two more things: 1. Several staff have left the ranch or will be leaving us soon, all for diffeerent reasons. Please pray for the additional staff that will be needed to replace them. Pray for the stamina of the staff that remain as they accomplish the impossible. 2. We need house-parents for girls. The need is great and the workers are few.
We are all trusting the Father and His perfect provision.

"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen.
"When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,
I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed." God’s Decree.
