Our summer has been<br \/>\nfilled with activities for the children, including the camping trip to<br \/>\nFlorida. They had a great time and we are always thankful for the Lord<br \/>\nmaking this possible.<\/p>\n<p>Sissie and I will be taking Allie to Mississippi College on August 18th.<br \/>\nPlease be praying for her as she starts school there.<\/p>\n<p>One of the verses that is always coming to mind is Proverbs 16:9&#8212;A man&#8217;s<br \/>\nheart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. I can&#8217;t tell you<br \/>\nthe times I have had the Lord to upset my plans before 7 in the morning. And<br \/>\nnow, it has happened in regards to shipping to Guatemala. I had planned to<br \/>\nload on August 11th but I am changing it to August 25th. There are reasons<br \/>\nfor this and I will share just one of them, which is really a blessing. You<br \/>\nwill notice that I have attached the list of needs again in case anyone<br \/>\nshould need it. In order to have our contents list preapproved before<br \/>\nshipping, we need all the supplies no later than August 11th<\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest needs in Guatemala is antibiotics. The Lord has recently<br \/>\ngiven us funds with which to purchase those antibiotics and we praise Him<br \/>\nfor this. However, in order to make sure we have them in time, then send the<br \/>\nlist of meds, as well as container contents list to Guatemala for approval,<br \/>\nI want to make sure that we have plenty of time to do this. So, if you can<br \/>\ncome help us load this container, please put August 25th on your calendar.<br \/>\nIf you can come help we would sure appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>Again, thank you all for your prayers and support. May the Lord greatly<br \/>\nbless you all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Children&#8217;s ministry needs in Guatemala <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Dear Friends,<\/p>\n<p>I guess this is the first time I have ever sent out 2 updates so close to each other. However, I felt I should share this with you.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, after I sent out the update letter, I received the following from Sofia Rodriquez, my contact in Guatemala. She mentions the tables, but I am sure that they can use anything that you can think of that would pertain to a children\u2019s ministry. I know that those items will be a blessing to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohnny, I want to share with you about the needs of a kids ministry teacher. Her name is Isabel, she is the main contact I have in a community where we help with the feeding program, this week we started the program over there. Talking with her, she share that 8 months ago they began with the kids ministry and that they don&#8217;t have materials or even tables for the kids. When they started they got a donation of chairs but that&#8217;s it. I&#8217;m going to try to get her crayons, markers, notebooks, paper sheets for them. But I did wanted to ask you if there is a way that your ministry could donate kids tables for them, and send them in the container. There about 50 kids. I believe kids are one of the most important ministry in a church and investing on them is worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Should you have any questions at all, please contact me.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, and have a blessed day.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny<\/p>\n<p>In His Service,<\/p>\n<p>Johnny<\/p>\n<p>Johnny Huffman<\/p>\n<p>Fairhaven Ministry of Faith, Hope, &amp; Love<\/p>\n<p>21066 Fairhaven Road<\/p>\n<p>Covington, La. 70435<\/p>\n<p>Ph: 985-892-1134<\/p>\n<p>Fax: 985-892-1385<\/p>\n<p>Cell: 985-264-5052<\/p>\n<p>Email: johnny@fairhavenministry.com &lt;mailto:johnny@fairhavenministry.com&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Web: hopeforothers.org<\/p>\n<p>Love is God&#8217;s will in action.<\/p>\n<p>l<\/p>\n<p>Phillipians 2:4,5-Look not every man on his own things, but every man on the<br \/>\nthings of others.
