ROOF! ROOF!

Sept. 11 will be the 5th annual Roof Dog Run and Christ Church, Plano,is in full swing. Yesterday was the first date for those pre-registered to pick up their run packets. This event will enable Casas Hogar Sagrada Familia to build much needed dormitory space. One of our concerns has been to address the transition piece as our kids reach young adulthood. More dorm space will really help us facilitate their "leaving the nest". Who knows? Maybe we'll be fledging the next mayor of Arequipa some day! This love expressed to the kids by Christ Church members and done in the name of Jesus will carry untold blessing with it that will affect their lives forever.Your sons will be taught by the LORD,and great will be your children's peace. Isaiah 54

GOING ONE....GOING TWICE.....

On Saturday Redeemer Episcopal Church, Irving, held its fund raiser for the upcoming Arequipa trip in October. Seventeen missionaries are gearing up, and boy, are they excited! On a previous trip when the team worked with our San Lucas Anglican School, Mother Gail pitched a mean slider while teaching baseball to the kids! This time the team will be building two additional classrooms at the school. Padre and Vicki had a great time at the wine tasting/auction although it still seems strange to be in THIS hemisphere! A large group attended and the bidding was exciting. Vicki was able to network with a lot of close friends and Peru supporters. Father Steve took over the duties of hosting as Mother Gail was out of town. The spread was good and Padre Ron managed (by careful bidding strategy) to claim a waffle iron and help the cause! The Casas kids are already excited about the upcoming visit as is San Lucas. Thank you, Redeemer, for caring about our children!

San Antonio

Here, at the end of August 2010, Padre Ron and Vicki made a short trip to San Antonio to rejoice in the wedding of close friends from our ministry in McKinney when our kids were small. Several former parishoners were present and what a blast to share in this celebration of two committed joining their lives before God.
