Please, Join Us In Prayer

Be still, and know that I am God; Psalm 46:10 NKJV

We have all become still before our Heavenly Father as He continues to stretch our faith. February has been very difficult financially. February has been difficult for dealing with our teens. We are all feeling the effects of the angelic conflict as it swirls around us. We know this is a spiritual issue. We are literally at the gates of hell rescuing souls from the enemy. It seems he has noticed. We will all gather around the throne of God, listen to His voice, and He will be glorified by what we do and say. God will be glorified when our help comes, because it comes from the Lord.

We are still working with the Chamberlain's as house-parents, but we cannot bring them on at this time.

We have listed Hidden Valley with a relator. The boys are still over there, but will be over here, by the end of next week. Please pray that a buyer will be found for the property.
This is a link to the listing: http://www.flexmls.com/link.html?u5asjeg3fv9,7,1
We are all making deep cut into our salaries and non-essential spending has ceased.
Please continue to pray for our finances. We are working with our board of directors to make shure that every corner is cut. I am gone almost every day visiting with individuals and churches to get the word out about who we are. May the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ bless you with with a peace beyond your wildest imaginations and we pray that He keep you close to His heart.

Your friend,


Dwayne

Glenhaven's Prayer Concerns - from Director Dwayne Webb

There are three things that remain—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 TLB

If we relied on luck this would probably be the verse to avoid, "13:13, but you know what we do not live our lives by superstition. We live by Faith. Paul is talking about the three things that remain when we meet Jesus. When we are face to face and we are beginning to know Him these three things will be there, faith, hope, & love.


Think about it, when He wipes away all tears from our eyes, and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain. When all of that has gone forever. We will still have faith, hope, & love. God is Awesome!


Happy Valentines Day! Thanks for loving us this day and every day!

We are still working on hiring the Chamberlain's as house-parents. Please continue to pray for the process. We are in the process of listing Hidden Valley with a relator. The boys are still over there, but will soon be over here. Please pray that a buyer will be found for the property.
The gray house is almost finished. Please pray for the stamina to finish strong.
We hope to have the boys in there by the end of February.
Pray for the house-parents as they maintain a calmness in the midst of the chaos.
School staff as they keep on teaching in spite of all of this.
Each resident as they continue to work in school and on their personal stuff.
We have a need for bunk beds that are sturdy and extra long. We have some big boys and we will need them soon for the gray house.
QuickBooks has repaired the file. Yea! All is well with our book keeper! She is almost caught up entering the data from last week while the file was gone.
 

We talked last week about how giving slows during the first of each year and we asked you to pray with us for wisdom. Please continue to pray for our wisdom in this area and for our Lord's continued provision.

Glenhaven Prayer Partners

In chapter 5, verse 23 of 1st Thessalonians the Apostle Paul speaks a blessing to the church body as he closes his letter. I wonder why we don't do that? I do think that we should. I think it is a part of getting involved in the lives of our fellow believers. Paul talks alot about how this church invested in his life and how he poured back into them from his own life. Thank you for blessing us and pouiring your life into ours.

May the God of peace himself make you entirely pure and devoted to God; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept strong and blameless until that day when our Lord Jesus Christ comes back again. 1 Thess 5:23 TLB


We interviewed a couple last week about being house-parents. You guys are awesome! God is indeed good! Thanks for Praying! If we hire the Chamberlain's we will be full of house-parents. Soon we can be full of kids.

Every year about this time our giving slows down. Then by April we write a letter asking our supporters to pray about our need. You always respond and we are so grateful. This year we would ask you to begin to pray early and often that we be consistent good stewards of what God provides.


Thank you and may our Heavenly Father continually bless the labors of your hands and your knees.


Your friend,

Dwayne
