  • A Journey to Buckhorn. God’s Call for Naomi
    Just found a few pages of some of Naomi’s writings back 50 years ago. “Please let this be my last winter in all this cold and snow”, Ann (Naomi used ANN” in her writings) half prayed half sighed as she pulled up her hood and shoved on high boots and pushed open the door to check on the amount of digging needed to get her car cleared off after last nights fresh snowfall of 8 more inches.

  3. Dear Richard…Grace to you and peace…my name is Rev Burgess Sindowe founder of Havenbase Missions and now Way To You Missions here in Chikankata rural district Zambia. You and I have been been friends and at one time you shared some info and was willing to fund a drip irrigation project here in rural Zambia. A lot has happened since then and it would be an honor to fill you in with some catch ups…we are working on rehabilitating an abandoned clinic to cater healthcare for a population of over 3000 people and honestly we are struggling financially hence your involvement in this project would bring a turn around of hope to my rural community. Let me know your thoughts and share your email address so I can forward some of our pix and vids for this upcoming project…thanks and God bless you sir.

    Al and I met Naomi and Richard when we started going to Eastbrook Church. They were so welcoming and caring. We belonged to their Life Group. Naomi was always there when I needed advice. She will be missed. Naomi was such a blessing in my life.
