On a recent trip to Africa, Caulene Bussard, Marilyn’s sister and world missionary stumbled upon a struggling ministry to the many orphaned children in Nairobi Kenya called “The Children’s Garden”, founded by Moses Ndung’u (Daddy Moses). Without outside help many of these children would not survive. Caulene felt compelled to help and began a project with Slovack children and their families in Bratislavia to raise funds so these needy children could have their basic needs taken care of and at the same time receive an education. As more funds were raised, more children arrived, creating an even greater need. As of today there are far more needy children than funds to provide them even basic needs. Marilyn often wished she could do more to help and now she can – Through You! Please give generously to this worthy project

The Battle Continues

I am sitting at my desk during one of the few short breaks in my busy school day so can't take much time for writing, I do need to say however that the last few days have been very difficult as Doctors and nurses try unsuccessfully to unscramble the reasons for Marilyn's recent downturn. Her blood count has dropped in all areas, she has become almost totally immobile, her blood sugar levels are spiking and she is in a state of confusion and delirium.

Today will be the 3rd out of 5 radiation treatments and perhaps the side effects of this powerful treatment that is causing Marilyn so many problems. Thankfully there has been a familiar face in the room with her as she has had to endure each trip to and from the appointments. Each day though, she has been less responsive and understanding of what is taking place in her life.

Thank you for the many prayers and words of encouragement I have both heard and read during this difficult time. We are still holding on to God as our comfort and strength.

Love
Bryon

Bryon,
God's Word says"Fear Not! for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am thy God. I will strengthen you and I
will help you. I will uphold you by my righteous right hand" Isaiah 41:10

Comfort in God's mighty power and grace.

Our prayers and love,
Please them to Marilyn
