Dear faithful family and friends, I am writing to you because this year will be my 50th birthday in November.

Ive thought long and hard on how I would like to commemorate 50 years on this Earth and Ive finally made a decision. To build a fence. Yes, I said it, a fence!! Im asking your support in helping me build a fence in Honduras. This past July, 8 of us visited Pena Blanca, Honduras for 8 days. We worked alongside the people of the Calvary Church, Pena Blanca and were deeply moved by the work they are doing to make their community a better place to live. We were able to assist in their church service, we loved on young children and we fed those who would otherwise go without. We told school children of our love for Jesus and we fell in love with the people of Pena Blanca. To further their ministry, Calvary Church would like to build a playground for their children, For security reasons, they cannot do that unless they first build a fence. We are asking you to be one of 100 people to each pay for a foot of fence. Would you consider donating $60 for one foot? If so, please follow the directions in the box below:
