Today was early release day for Gwinnett Public Schools. The kids were really excited about going home early. I was also able to go home early as well. This gave Cornelia and I the opportunity to get into the mission field for a few extra hours today!
We went to Villa Nueva and opened the mission a little early. It was good to have the opportunity to spend extra time with the kids. Cornelia had planed and very creative bible study about Joseph and his coat of many colors. She incorporated a great craft project that the kids really loved.
I love how she uses her many years as a Christian teacher to spread the Gospel with these children.
We also went to one of the Huntington properties and distributed gloves to several kids. The kids there are really poor and appreciated the extra warmth for the bus stop on cold days.
Please keep us in your prayers.

Villa Nueva!!!!!!
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

Please pray for our ministry as we begin to establish a new mission site soon. Also pray that God will also see fit to bless us financially.
We Love you all!

Computer Woes!!!
Goood Morning! Well its good to be back online again. My high-powered Dell Computer decided, after three years of perfect operation, to crash. So now we had to go to the backup computer. About three months ago we received a donation of a Hewlett Packard PC. Praise the Lord that he knew we were going to need it. As for the Dell ... its in the hands of Doctor Jesse Cummins for evaluation. Jesse is really talented at this kind of tech stuff and I know what ever the remedy may be, he will be able to tell me soon.
Just to update you on the latest mission news...we have been working hard to reach the people of Villa Nueva and Huntington Village. To date we have led 20 people to Jesus, worked with 4 different churches, and handed out over 150 bibles to many adults. If you would like to be apart of our team we really need a donation of Spanish language bibles. We also could use volunteers to help on sight.
Lately Cornelia has been working her summer camp and also at a daycare center to help boost our financial situation. With the recession just about every missionary is experiencing a decline in giving. Unfortunately bills and mortgages still have to be paid etc..
Our summer missionary Kati McLean is doing an excellent job filling the gap where ever she is asked to serve. This week she is in Boston, but will be back in action next week.
Please pray for our work. We have faith in the direction by a powerful and loving God that will meet all our needs. If you have been blessed this month...please pray how you can help your missionaries.
We Love You All!!!
