The Lord has answered our prayers! Thanks to our amazing donors who have help raise $38,000 dollars. We have been blessed with more than enough money to purchase Pat's Place very first 18-passenger van! Not only did YOU help provide for the purchase, but also for all the Peruvian-required fees and a special driving course required for Pat's Place Director, Laura Ali. Everything has been completely covered!

We have truly been humbled and overwhelmed by the friends and family who have donated so generously to make this dream come true. God is so faithful to provide for our every need in His perfect time! We are so excited to share that the purchase will be finalized during our upcoming family mission trip July 12-22 in just two short weeks. We will share pictures, video and a Live Facebook event to show you what YOU have helped make possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Upgrade Time - This has been an amazing year already. Besides the amazing news above about our very first van, we are also in the middle of upgrading the living space for our families. The house is 16 years old at this point and it is time to replace a few things. I am proud to say that it is Christmas in July. We have purchased a new Industrial Fridge for our Kitchen on the 3rd floor, 6 brand new toilets for the house which means that we have now replaced every toilet in the entire house in 15 months. We are doing everything we can to make sure our families are taken care.
