Worcester Boy's Home
|
The Worcester Boy's Home is officially off the ground! The boys and the Williams family moved into their new home at the end of the month. It was an exciting day that the boys have been anticipating for more than three months. They have settled into their new home immediately and are already a big hit in their new neighborhood. We have decided to change the name of the project to the Worcester Boy's Home. This communicates the vision of this ministry much more than the Street Children Project. Also, we have found that the boys involved in the project find it very difficult to be continually referred to as "street boys" when they have given up that lifestyle. We still need your prayers and support for this important ministry and ask that you stand with us in prayer for each boy in the program. We will keep you updated on the boy's ministry through special updates from time to time.

We had a special, unexpected blessing this month as an old friend from Fort Worth, Coleman Roach, dropped in and spent a week with us on his way back home from Mozambique where he has spent the last six months with Iris Ministries. It was great to have an American in the home and he was a breath of fresh air for us all. Coleman bonded instantly with the kids and they really enjoyed having him around.
Wesley turned seven on February 8th. It is hard to believe that he was not even three when we arrived in South Africa. He had a special time with friends for his birthday. We are so proud of him and know that God has special plans for his life.
Stephanie is still involved with the music program at the children's school and is going to be directing the annual school play by doing the first full scale musical, Annie Jr. She will also be conducting two choirs this year and giving several private music lessons.
Katie is a wonderful blessing to our family. As she works daily with Wesley at school, she is also serving as the teacher's assistant to the first and second grade teacher. We continue to see God's hand of provision in bringing Katie to us for this season.

Wesley turned 7 on February 8th. He had a big party at the Worcester Health & Fitness club. As you can see, the theme was Spiderman! He is blessed to have lots of special friends.

We all had a fun time helping the boys move into their new home!


Katie enjoyed spending time with an old friend, Coleman, and Stephanie and Colemen ventured on a seven hour hike up the mountains behind our home!
