They are all prospering and we cannot wait to join in future success stories over the coming years. God is meeting a need for these families on many different levels. He has been running so fast with this project that Mrs. Holmes sometimes can only see his dust as she tries to keep up with all the wonderful things he is doing for FSHCA
