Only a<br>couple of days ago I realized I have not sent out a letter since before<br>Christmas. I apologize for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To so many of you who support us with your prayers, donations, come out and<br>help us, and to those who made Christmas so good for the children, Thank<br>You! Only the Lord knows the depth of our appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month made 55 years that Fairhaven has been in operation. Perhaps some<br>of you are not aware of the history of Fairhaven, so I am attaching a brief<br>explanation of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth of this month made 49 years that Sissie and I have been here. I<br>often say that I do not know of anyone more blessed than we are. We have had<br>the privilege to share in the lives of many children, to meet and work with<br>so many in our community, different areas of the US, and in many different<br>countries. We can never began to number all of God&#8217;s blessings on the<br>ministry or our lives. People often ask me when I plan to retire. I do not<br>care to retire as long as the Lord can use me to serve Him and serve others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many have expressed to me their fear for the situation we are in as a<br>country, as well as throughout the world. We are fortunate, as Christians,<br>that we can have a perfect peace about it all when we realize that our Lord<br>is in complete control of everything. You can be sure I am concerned, but I<br>am not really worried. I just pray that the Lord will continue to give us<br>the resources to meet the needs of those in desperate circumstances and that<br>we will be faithful to share His love with them. He is always faithful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following devotional is from Jesus Calling. Please read it prayerfully<br>and with an open heart. I thought that it may be a blessing to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, thank you so very much for all of your prayers and support. We ask<br>that you would continue to pray that Fairhaven will be the ministry that the<br>Lord would have it to be, and that through whatever is accomplished here,<br>ONLY HE will be glorified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pray the Lord&#8217;s richest blessings on each of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In His Service,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnny<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.S.-I have had some mail issues and if you did not receive the last update<br>letter, and would like to, please let me know. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MY PEACE is like a shaft of golden Light shining on you continuously. During<br>days of bright sunshine, it may blend in with your surroundings. On darker<br>days, My Peace stands out in sharp contrast to your circumstances. See times<br>of darkness as opportunities for My Light to shine in transcendent splendor.<br>I am training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate<br>with Me in this training. Do not grow weary and lose heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every<br>way. The Lord be with all of you.<br>-2 Thessalonians 3:16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on<br>in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or<br>absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].<br>-John 1:4-5 amp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will<br>not grow weary and lose heart.<br>-Hebrews 12:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnny Huffman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fairhaven Ministry of Faith, Hope, &amp; Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21066 Fairhaven Road<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covington, La. 70435<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ph: 985-892-1134<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fax: 985-892-1385<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cell: 985-264-5052<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email: johnny@fairhavenministry.com <a href=\"mailto:johnny@fairhavenministry.com\">johnny@fairhavenministry.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web: hopeforothers.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends, I am not sure where the time goes, but it certainly goes quickly.
