Its Almost Fair Time!!!! (What is that?!?!)

Every year in August we go to the Northwest Washington Fair. This year it will be special in many brand new ways. First it will all be new to John and Victoria, carnival rides (what are those?), pigs, goats and lots of animals on show and penned up (what is this?) not to mention the FOOD, demolition derby, monster truck show, did I mention the FOOD, and lots and lots of people!

Another special memory for this year is that the ministry God has born in our hearts, "His Kids Our Homes", is going to have a booth at the fair to raise awareness and support for orphans and foster children. God has provided us with an incredible location to be His megaphone about the orphan and foster child right in the mainstream of people. He has raised the funds and many many volunteers to help. He are a couple set up photos for our booth. Watch for more this week. We will be raising funds for Beacon House in Ghana as well as orphanages in Haiti and India that we have begun to network with as well. God is orchestrating amazing things for sure to take care of His Kids!

The Bogarts our great friends and partners helping out as always!!!


































WOW....it is beginning to take shape!!



















It all begins tomorrow and will be a great time for sure. We look forward to planting more seeds with new people and carrying God's torch for the Orphan and Foster Child to our community!!
