Catching Up On the Last Month
Posted by Chad under: Chad's .
Hey Everyone,
I hope that all is well! Things are good for Alise and I. We are both in Texas now; I came out last Wednesday and have been busy since. This last Sunday I had the opportunity to speak at Praise Christian Center (http://www.praisebeaumont.com/) in Beaumont, Texas. It was a great time. I shared about God’s heart for the world demonstrated both in history and the world today. We really enjoyed our time there. On the left is a picture of Pastor Reggie Lloyd and I during our interview.
Alise is doing well. She is growing as the baby grows as well (notice the belly). At an ultrasound last week the technician told us that the baby is measuring two weeks larger than estimated due date would allow. So either we are going to have a giant baby or she is going to come early! We are super excited. The ultrasound was the new type that can show 4-D images so we got some amazing photos of our baby even before she was born (strange I know). I have put one of those below as well.
So for next months things are going to be quite strange for Alise and I. We are going to be staying here in TX until the baby is born sometime mid-January. I will be leading a small group back to Mexico during the second week of December for our annual Christmas Celebration.
Things in Mexico are going well. We are in regular communication with the staff and things are good. We have had a few kids decide to leave the home in the past month, and that is never fun. Please pray for the ministry, the children, and the staff as we fight a constant battle over the hearts of these precious kids and youth. I have added a few photos of the kids below as well.

Please continue to pray for us and for the 2nd property project. I do not have the exact number as this time but I am certain that we have surpassed $10,000 towards the eventual goal of $40K. Please keep us in your prayers. God Bless! -Chad & Alise
