One orphan dies from cholera – Please take a minute and pray

Dear Praying friends,

We just heard from one of our managers of the orphans in Sudan that one
small child just died from cholera. We are praying that the others will be
spared.

Please stop for just a minute and pray that the Lord will protect the other
orphans. Dean is not planning on going until January with a pediatrician,
Dr. Katie Buck.

Thank you,

Dean

Update

Dear Prayer Partner,

You can find our most recent prayer letter at

We do need to say a couple things about it.

Green Bull Jewelry in Boerne (Jerry Gowen) is taking over our gold and
precious metal processing instead of Q-Financial. This is for the Old
Jewelry for the Orphans project mentioned in the last two prayer letters.
We want to give a special thank you for Jerry and his work in this area, as
we have received to date close to $1000 in old jewelry.

Also, just a quick update and praise for our plans to go to Ethiopia this
Nov. 12-20. I will be going with Dr. Katie Buck (MD), Susan Buchanan (RN),
and Steve Buchanan to set up our medical clinic in Meki, Ethiopia. Even
though we have had only two months to plan for this mission trip, we have
already received close to $6,000 of the needed $14,000. We are thankful for
this and look to the Lord for the rest.

Please pray with us that the additional amount will come in to cover our
other costs, such as medicine and construction materials to renovate the
building. In addition, we’re praying that Bob Nicol (CrossWay’s Engineering
Consultant) and Sandy Watts (CrossWay’s Import/Export Consultant) will be
able to make it on this trip to assist in the development of our ministry in
Ethiopia.

Warmly in Christ,
Dean
