They also rented a mini-excavator for us and dug a septic tank, worked on our roads into the property, dug for our new fenceline, and leveled the land for our future playground.  

Needless to say, we feel that it was a huge leap ahead for us.  Thanks again guys for all your hard work!  We so enjoyed having you here with us and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

This is a little overdue, but I wanted to introduce the whole crew working for Give Hope 2 Kids this summer and (for some) onwards. 

Jared & Amanda Tippy are from Kansas and are now living in our 2nd house with their family.  They have two kids: 4-year-old Jude who loves to build castles and sunny 1-year-old Lucy who just took her first step.  They also brought along a family friend Dru to help out during his summer vacation.  The Tippy family will be helping out the Give Hope 2 Kids ministry until December of this year.  Jared is very handy and into the idea-making and engineering of projects to help us along.  Amanda loves to be outside in the garden and she is helping us develop our composting and gardening system, along with teaching English classes in the local elementary school.  It is so great to have these friends to work along side with. 

​We want to say to all of you working with our ministry that we couldn't do it without you.  Thank you for all that you've sacrificed to serve the kids of our area.
