Ric & Suzet - an update

Ric and Suzet Sutcliffe, from our Glenelg congregation, have given us an update on their work in the Philippines. Ric writes:

Hi all

I just posted the blog re the school graduation recently. It was great to see the 3 Joyland kids in their gowns and toga’s – take a look at the blog and some photos.

They each have a story and I have included some details there. We need to be cautious what we say for obvious reasons. They all glowed on the day and so grateful for the God given opportunity they have in life.

Also we are completing a new building which will be used as Dining/Recreation Hall. It is large and is looking great. The funds for this were donated by an old friend who now lives in the USA, Nats Kusuangko. He recently was here and saw the development. We wish he could be here now to be part of a Thanksgiving dedication. We hope to use it this Thursday – if the painting is all dry.

Suzet and I leave Thursday afternoon for the USA as Joshua and Julie are expecting twins late May. We still have not personally met Brynn, their daughter, so this is a great occasion for us. We are excited. We sold our car to do this. Joyland has an old Suzuki multicab, which is small and a squeeze for us foreigners, but heh, we survive. We are looking to raise funds to by an L300 style van for transport for Joyland kids. At the moment we do 2 trips when we go anywhere. If you can help it would be a blessing.

To all we thank you for your moral, prayerful and financial support. We know times are tough at the moment. If you desire to give from Australia it can be done through our website and is ‘tax deductible’. If in the UK it can be done through Heart of the Father and thereby is ‘tax deductible’ also.

Please pray for Ric and Suzet as the work and travel for the Lord.
