Sixteen Candles

Olivia celebrated her 16th birthday on January 26. We gathered at the famous Rick's Cafe in Negril along with the rest of the missionary family in Jamaica for this special occasion. As we dined, we watched the cliff divers leap into the ocean from incredible heights. The sunset was beautiful and we all enjoyed ourselves greatly.
Happy Birthday Olivia!

Thanks For Flying With Us

Have you heard of the FlyLady? No, she is not a high school science experiment gone awry but rather a real woman named Marla Cilley whose website http://www.flylady.net/ is dedicated to helping people fly from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her “toolbox” is full of sage advice, words of encouragement, and heartening testimonies to get novice flutterers organized and flying in the right direction.

New Vision City of Refuge has a similar toolbox full of items to help our children learn to fly from the chaos in their lives. Members of numerous missions and medical teams thoughout the year have delved into our toolbox to join us in the process.

Sponsorship is one such tool. As sponsors you have helped our children fly by praying for them to be free of the emotional baggage many carry because of abuse and abandonment. Another tool for flying is your encouraging letters; it raises the children’s spirits to know someone is thinking of them. Lastly, your continued financial support provides food, clothing, school materials, and all the basic necessities of life which helps New Vision City of Refuge fly and meet our monthly budget.

We know you have many other opportunities to choose from when it comes to serving in ministry; so we at New Vision City of Refuge would like to extend our thanks for flying with us.
