Wannabees News!
July 2019
Thank you all for all your support in prayers and giving. The Wannabees could not continue without support from wonderful people like you. God is working through us by working through YOU.
After returning from a wonderful but extremely busy March trip, we began planning for the three trips we are in the midst of this summer.
A group of 26 adults and teens just returned from six days in Englewood, Illinois which is in the “scary” part of Chicago. We joined Urban 7 Ministries who minister in the location of gangs and violence. They counted at least 16 gun shots that they heard close. They were told that we are not the targets but it took faith for the group to stay after hearing gun shots the second morning. Kids from ages 3 to adult would come to the home daily as it is a safe haven for them. The kids did not have a good home life so they spent their days in this home and go home at night to sleep. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to share more of this experience with you as this is close to us!
On July 1 the Chicago team arrived home and the first Jamaica team left. They are rekindling our friendships with the kids at Garland Hall, the kids at Westhaven Children’s home and the two nursing homes. They are also painting the bathroom inside and out that our March team finished.
On July 12 our second team will travel to Jamaica. This team is from Bay Village (Cleveland), Ohio. If you recall our telling that a family from Cleveland adopted two boys from Jamaica, they are part of this group. It’s amazing how God has spread His love for the orphans from little Hamilton to Cleveland, Ohio. They have a team of twenty excited and enthused members ready to love the children, have Bible lessons, sing and even give them swim lessons. The kids live right by the ocean but do not know how to swim. This team will also be spending time with the residents of Westhaven, the home of the physically and mentally challenged. They have great connections so are taking four wheel chairs plus much other medical supplies. This team will also be building one of the 12 X 24 homes. GOD IS GOOD.
Please be praying for these groups as we need God’s strength and energy for the long HOT days. We also need His wisdom to do His will.
