To All Supporters of Casa de Fe,

Blessings to you this Christmas season! The prophets promised there would come a Messiah and indeed He came,
born in a backwater town, to two very poor people and swaddled in cloth that Joseph or Mary found somewhere. What
a story! Come again, Lord, as You have promised!
Over the last nine plus years CornerStone International (CI) and Casa de Fe (CdF) in Shell, Ecuador have maintained
a ministry affiliation and letter of agreement. Gods incredible grace has been poured out on many precious children.
CI has been immensely proud to be a part of this childrens home on the edge of the jungle. We continue our
prayers and intercession for all that goes on there.
However, as of January 1, 2015, CI will terminate its affiliation agreement with CdF and will not be accepting,
processing or receipting donations for operating expenses/funding for CdF. This includes child sponsorships,
construction, and all other special funds.
CI has asked the Ecuadorian Board of CdF to search out another channel for operations funding. Adventive Cross
Cultural Initiatives (ACCI) located in Rock Hill, South Carolina has agreed to do this. Therefore, all of the operations
funding for CdF will be moving through their offices as of January 1, 2015.
Note! This does not include Patti Sue Arnolds personal support-raising, aka Sabbatical Fund. If you are a supporter
of Patti Sues Sabbatical Fund through CI, that is a different fund and you can expect further instructions directly from
her on how and where to send those funds.
We will gladly receive any questions you have, at our office in Wilmore, Kentucky. Our phone number is: (800) 8594578. On the reverse side is a letter from the Director of ACCI, John Haley, with instructions on how to continue giving to CdF through ACCI.
Let us continue to show compassion toward each other and toward any and all who are hurting. This is Gods will and
command. Thank you again for your years of support!

from Patti Sue...

Dear Supporters and Prayer Warriors of Casa de Fe,

As you have been walking along side Casa de Fe (CdF), some for many years, you have seen and experienced
the amazing growth of the ministry. When I first became a missionary with CornerStone Intl (CI) the ministry
budget was less than $5000.00 a month. As you know our 2014 budget was $41,000.00 per month.
As of the end of 2014 the operating, sponsorship, construction and special funds for CdF will no longer be
received or sent through CI. As always, our Savior is faithful to provide all we need in His perfect timing.
Adventive Cross Cultural Initiatives (ACCI) has stepped up to stand in the gap. CdF has been working with
ACCI Canada for many years and we are very happy to now be under the covering of ACCI USA.
There are letters included from the administrators of both CornerStone and ACCI who are dedicated to making
this a smooth transition with minimal effect to the operations of CdF or to the children. As you all know,
December is a very expensive month for CdF with not only giving the children a nice Christmas but also the
extra months pay to all the employees. Please consider an extra gift to CdF as we celebrate the birth of our
Savior.
Blessings,
Patti Sue Arnold
President Fundacin Casa de Fe
