Dear family and friends,

We can't believe it has been almost 3 years since our last post.  There have been so many changes over this time it has been staggering.  God has redirected our paths and we have been serving at a different children's home in Karatu, Tanzania for almost 2 years.  The organization is called Falco Children's Village and can be found at www.falcoschildrenvillage.com.

The children's home presently has 78 children and had needs that matched up to our giftings perfectly.  We have started a new child sponsorship program and have 31 children sponsored in the first 6 months!!  In October 2016,  Scott applied for a grant that was approved to start construction of a small medical clinic on the compound.   This clinic will provide care for the children, staff and surrounding village.  Kathi has been busy with the spiritual development curriculum and is starting to lay the groundwork to open an international school to serve the children at the home as well as the surrounding community.

With God calling us to ever-increasing involvement in African orphan care, Scott will be shifting gears at the end of June and starting to work part-time in Urgent Care again.  This will free us up to be able to spend more time in Africa.  We will be heading back the first week in July and will return in September.

Please pray for us as we enter this new but exciting phase of our lives and follow God's leading.  We will post updates here in the coming months so stay tuned!!

Again, our thanks for your support and prayers!

Blessings,

Scott, Kathi and family
