Cornelia and I had a great turnout at our Villa Nueva mission today. Sorry we don't have photos to share of the experience. May be we will have a camera up and running soon.
We Love working with the people there. They are so appreciative for everything we try to do for them. It is really fun having Cornelia working with me full time again. She had a great craft project for the kids to do today. The girls really love her.
I also worked with kids on their homework. Many struggle to understand written English words which makes it though for them to understand the point of the material.
Finally we distributed bread to the needy today. We have found an outlet that will sell us bread for $5.00 bucks a shopping cart load. It's good to get some sort of food on the table of very needy people. For more information contact us at keithandcornelia@gmail.com
We love you all!

God is Sooooo Good!!
For weeks we have been struggling with the transition that is going on among the Latino people groups. It appears that so many people are on the move. I spoke with one lady not to long ago who told me her husband had gone to Nebraska to locate work in farmland regions. What does this mean to our ministry? It means that as many people move form our ministry field it puts us in a constant state of relearning people and regaining trust. Sort of a consistent state of restarting.
The bright side...God has placed us in a perfect position to spread the Gospel with many new families.
Also we have begun new work at Hunnington Terraces which is about a mile from Villa Nueve, just off Jimmy Carter Blvd. Currently another group is also ministering there as well. Our hope is that we can develop a partnership the will work for the good of the residents and not missionary egos. We were there last Thursday handing out coats and gloves to the kids. Most were very unprepared for the extreme cold of the past two weeks. Please pray that this partnership will work out.
Finally many of you know that we recently was able to start a Christian after school club at Lilburn Elementary School.Last week we had almost thirty kids in attendance. We were also able to gain support from two local churches...Lilburn First Baptist and Calvary Baptist Church. Both churches have agreed to help supply us with resources as we spread the Gospel in public school. Many of our students are openly proclaiming the Word to other kids. And we continue to teach the kids how to read the and study the Bible.
Please pray that God will bless our efforts as we "go" in the name of Jesus
Blessings.....Keith

It's Good To Be Back
Hello everyone....its good to be back on the blog once again. Just to let you know we have been absent for so long because of a few issues we had to work through. But know we are back on by the grace of God.
Over the last few weeks we have been blessed to see God work in some very powerful ways. One of the biggest blessings has been to have Cornelia return to ministry service in the field. In the past she has served in an administrative role. But God has led her to give up an extra job and to return to a full time roll in the field with me. Last years crew has gone on to start their own ministry sites (praise the Lord), so it has been a natural progression for Cornelia to reenter field work.
God is good all the time.
Much Love,
Keith
