DOUBLE PORTION

"...in your land you shall possess a double portion; yours shall be everlasting joy." Isa. 61:7


On March 22, 2010 we received more of our heritage from the Lord. (Ps. 127:3) Tommy and Keri gave us two more beautiful grandchildren. The twins have finally arrived - Jonathan Edward 7lbs 1oz - 20 inches (on the right) and David Thomas 6lbs 12oz - -181/2 inches. (on the left) Thank you Lord for our beautiful healthy baby boys. Our heart has enlarged once again

Ps 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

HAITI- THEN AND NOW

Twenty years ago, Terry and I cut our teeth in missions in the impoverished country of Haiti. We would take a ministry team down there almost every summer. For years our home church has sponsored missionaries and children in this country. Due to the latest earth quake disaster, Terry felt impressed to take a trip in April to assess the situation and see what the Lord would have Mantle Ministries due in the near future, whether it is work teams, ministry teams or both. Below is a picture of the VBS where children would walk for hours to attend. They would wait for us to come and teach them about Jesus.


We would travel up in the mountains and all around the remote villages. In this village we did an evangelistic service where many gave their lives to God. That ministry team also left the fiances to establish a church.
We adopted these children in our hearts and it was always difficult to leave them. The children in these pictures are now adults.


The children are walking to the area where we held the village VBS. They would scream with delight as we drove into their area. These pictures from 20 years ago bring back such heartfelt memories.

We would like to thank all of you who made donations to Haiti. Terry will personally bring down the finances ear marked for Haiti to insure that it gets used by those in the most need . Haiti will always be dear to our hearts.
