We will be able to live there, have theChildren’s Home and still host visiting short and long term mission teams.Please pray that all goes well with that and we can go ahead with the downpayment. The Children’s Home will be called Face of My Father Children’sHome or El Rostro de mi Padre, Hogar Para Ninos.While we are down in San Marcos, God has provided us with severalthings to work on. Mainly, we are praying for wisdom in this decision. Thatwe move when He calls us, and are ready to do what He asks of us. That Heguides us in this time and sends us wise council. That our family prayertimes are renewing and that our family works as a team. We pray Jesusstrengthens us and grows us closer together. That William and Katie Cookeare sensing this also.
