Devon Park Orphanage

Dear friends,
It's with a joyful heart that we begin the Devon Park Orphanage blog. Bonnie and I with all our children had only just arrived in Michigan (almost a Canadian province ehh?) when we received an email from Randy and Beth Fox. Devon Park Christian School in Frederiction New Brunswick has been blessing Cochabamba with short term teams for the past five years. Each year their graduating class has given of their time and resources to bless the ministries of Bolivia. I had suggested to one of these teams that if they some how could fail their final exams they may be able to return to Bolivia with the next years class and they emmidiately coined the phrase "Failing for Jesus"

Despite my questionable advise to the senior class; Randy and Beth Fox, Drew and Kandi Ingraham along with other faithful staff and parents have had it on their hearts to partner with Bolivia in fundraising for the construction of an orphanage. It's a beautiful testimony to the very reason I.O.U. (International Orphanage Union) exists. Family sized homes, with Christian parents, raising the orphans to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. As you read this please join me in praying for God's clear leading on this project, the students, parents and faculty.

  1. Hello from Fredericton, New Brunswick!
    I've really enjoyed reading your blogs this evening. I attend the Devon Park Baptist Church and Randy Fox and the Christian School are doing a great job promoting the #8 Orphanage.
    I've been praying for all of you, the children in the pictures look so happy and healthy.
    Thank you for everything you're doing and may God bless you as you continue His work.
    In Christian Love,
    Sandra
