Eager Beavers

The time is ALMOST here!! Mack and I are planning to leave for Canada a bit earlier than planned but only to make it to the Overland Expo in Flagstaff, Arizona! We leave May 15th!!

So the route is about finished, back roads and highways, but we NEED YOUR HELP! Where are some Neat & Interesting places to visit, eat, etc. in the Western States?!?

36 MORE DAYS UNTIL WE EMBARK on OUR ADVENTURE!! God has TRULY BLESSED US! 

***Across America for Africa!!***

*UPDATE*

We have changed our donations organization! Our friend's The Ripley's family have an organization called Lighthouse for Christ! They are in Kenya and doing wonders through God's Guidance and Grace! 

ANY DONATION is GREAT!! You can go on their website BELOW to DONATE!


The needs are so great, but you can make a difference in Kenya and the East coast of Africa .Lighthouse provides world-class eye care to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Over 80% of our the patients cannot afford eye care.Help restore sight to a blind man, woman or child today, both physically and spiritually. Give them back a quality of life that we take for granted.Giving has never been easier!

Fellowship of ChurchesThe "Church on the Roof" took this verse literally! The church work of the Lighthouse now consist of nearly 70 Bible-believing, growing churches which originally sprang from a small Sunday School started in 1969 by Dr. Bill Ghrist in his residence. In 1977 the Church on the Roof was built and since then a large fellowship of churches has developed.The fellowship is directed and led by local national pastors. Each year new churches are being started. The mission's main help now is with newly-started churches and the training of pastors. Our role is not to tell pastors what to do. It is to help them accomplish what they feel God wants done. Annually, we hold Pastor's and Pastor's Wives Conferences. Recently, we have extended these training seminars to all area pastors in Mombasa and the East Coast Province. We also help them with equipment and sponsoring of individual church events.
