Back in the U.S.

Johnny is back in the U.S. now after more than a month in the Philippines and traveling. It was a grueling trip, and seeing the awful condition of Tacloban City right now really was a shock and it was painful to see. But life goes on. We are now in the process of rebuilding the campus, and rebuilding our lives after our house was hard hit by typhoon Yolanda. God willing, we will return to the Philippines and Tacloban City soon (if our house is rebuilt, hopefully very soon). In the meantime, we will be spending some time collecting all the great & generous relief goods so many of you have donated. If you want to donate, we need gently-used clothing & shoes, gently-used toys, tools of most any kind, tables, chairs, bicycles (used is OK), and a host of other items.  Let us know, we can come pick them up! THANKS SO MUCH to all of our great supporters who have helped put us on the track toward rebuilding. Thanks to you, also, some of the victims of the typhoon have been helped, both with food and with materials to rebuild their homes. "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).  Thanks to all!
