Each year as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches a phenomenon happens to me. No matter what circumstances are occurring in my personal life, in the ministry of Boys Farm or in the world situation – God causes me to stop and remember how He has blessed me. As soon as I stop to think about it, I know what a blessed man I am.
One of the results that sin has caused in our lives is that we are creatures of forgetfulness. Whether in times of trials or success we often overlook the constant blessingsthat God gives us. Blessings like our health, our freedom, our friends and especially our families. As I grow older, I realize how I have taken so many blessings for granted.
Boys Farm is ministering to children who have not experienced many of the blessings that you and I have. At least, not yet. Although we cannot change a child’s past, we are seeing God’s loving-care make a difference in boys’ lives today. As these boys grow into manhood, they will then have their own blessings for which they can give thanks.
Thank you for ministering to our boys through your prayers and financial gifts. God is glorified and we are grateful for all you do for the children He has placed in our care.
We pray that your heart will be renewed this Thanksgiving as you remember God’s blessings to you. Have a wonderful thanksgiving.
By His Grace,

Praise God for the progress in grading & landscaping at the new cottage. We have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving here at Boys Farm, as we anticipate the construction of the new cottage to be finalized by November 24th !
Please pray that all the final touches for Nehemiah Cottage will be completed as soon as possible so that the boys and house parents will be able to move in this month.
We would like to give a special thank you to all who have contributed to making this dream a reality. Thank you to all the volunteers, donors, and businesses for your support in truly making a difference in the lives of these young boys.
