Fairhaven Update – April 26,2014

Haiti Food Shipment Update 4-26-14 Dear Friends, I hope to finally get this update letter out. I have been trying for at least 2 weeks. What I am going to do is to include some letters I have rceived regarding the load of food to Haiti, and also maybe some excerpts. However, first, I need to explain how we work sometimes in order to make things happen, then you will understand how I came to have the letters. You will see the letters are sent to “Shirley”. Well, I know most of you will not know who Shirley is so I want to tell you. Shirley Gremyachev is founder and director of...

THE MIRACLE OF THE VITAMINS

Posted by on Apr 15, 2014 in News, News and Stories

THE MIRACLE OF THE VITAMINS In the early fall of 1998, we had heard of an orphanage in the southern part of Romania, where children were starving to death. I asked one of our coworkers to check into this and see if it was really true. Within 24 hrs, they had confirmed that, indeed, 5 children had already died of malnutrition, and, probably, 3 others would within the next 3-4 days. I asked our coworkers to take all of the money we had there and to go and purchase what food they could to help. In the meantime, we worked on getting other organizations involved. No other children died of...

KIDS PRAY FOR THE FUNDING OF A CONTAINER

KIDS PRAY FOR THE FUNDING OF A CONTAINER One of the things we have been privileged to do, because of the love and concern of so many others, is to ship Christmas Joy Boxes to children and Christmas Joy Bags to the elderly in Romania for Christmas each year. We try to load this container on the first Saturday in November in order to assure that it will be in Romania in plenty of time for our coworkers to deliver all of these before Christmas. I tell people that one of the benefits of the Lord allowing us to help others is that it gives the children here at Fairhaven a chance to be on on the...

KIDS PRAY FOR A NEW SWIMMING POOL

Posted by on Apr 15, 2014 in News, News and Stories

KIDS PRAY FOR A NEW SWIMMING POOL We had a been given a swimming pool that was a few years old when we rcvd it, but the kids really enjoyed it. Then, in the summer of 2010, about August, it started to having some weak areas. I decided that I had better drain it for did not want it collapsing while the kids were in it. After I drained it, I saw that it was beyond repair so we took it down. The day I told the kids, you would have thought we were having a funeral! One of them said “Papa Johnny, are you going to buy a new pool?”. I told them that we did not have the money to buy one and that...

EEG Machine

Posted by on Apr 15, 2014 in News, News and Stories

EEG Machine When in Romania, I would often visit hopitals, clinics, and other medical facilities to find out their needs. On one trip, I visited a children’s neurological clinic, met the doctor, and found out they had need for carpet and paint. We shipped these items to them in the next container. On my next trip, I went to visit them again and the doctor told me that she did not want to impose on me but wanted to show me their 15 yr old EEG machine. I can just say that it was in terrible shape, but that they were still trying to use it. On returning home, I put the word out for an EEG...
