6/19/04:  I am truly blessed every time I sit down to update the books with the loving gifts and countless prayers offered by you folks. I use the time that I work on the books to pray for you and ask God to bless you for your love and sacrifice! 
It has been an extreme blessing to see God's hand & provision for this ministry. The number of people who support this ministry have been such a blessing to us!! There have been a number of times Mom (Shirley Carpenter) & I have been in tears at the awesomeness of His people & how God always provides for our needs. Your prayers have been so helpful! We are humbled by the love you folks have shown us. Thank you for your support.
