Martin!

Tom was blessed to have Martin from Melissa, Texas working alongside him as the other October team members conducted the street boys camp.  The cesspit for our orphans is now complete, and the shower/toilet structure is in the works. Our November team will continue this project, among other things! 

Waterloo boys at Kent Beach!

Sierra Leone's Freetown Peninsula is known for 25 miles of some of the most spectacular beaches in the world! Sadly, many, if not most, Sierra Leoneans have never seen one. The boys enjoyed a beautiful day!! 

Camp for Waterloo Boys

Another 27 boys attended our October camp last week. From these, 20 will soon be up for sponsorship! Case stories with pictures are in the works, and they will be on display for Orphan Sunday on November 3rd. We are so thankful to FBC McKinney and 25project for their passion for these guys!!!  

Waterloo Boys In School!!!

Nineteen of our 23 Waterloo street boys who are now in school gathered to meet our October team. What a blessing it is to see God at work through the sponsorship program!!!  All these have been placed in homes since February, and began school in September.  Many will begin specialized tutoring this month because of huge gaps in learning. Some have never attended school.  THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SPONSOR!!!

Waterloo street boys back to school!!!!

Hi everyone! We are so terribly behind on updates, but there are simply a million wonderful things going on here in Sierra Leone!  God is AMAZING us these days!!!  This pic shows some of the boys who have been reunified with extended family members or placed with other families since February! Through our sponsorship program, the families receive 55 pounds of rice monthly, and the boys are in school, some for the first time in their lives!!!  We now have 23 boys in homes and school, and we are targeting the next 20 who have the greatest potential for placement by January to begin school as the 2nd semester opens. Thank you for your prayers and support!!!  

...the splendor of Thy majesty...
