INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

From The Green Family, Serving as Missionaries in Malawi...

Hello to our dear friends after too long! We've been back in Malawi for 3 months now, and our cup "overfloweth" with so many stories to share—testimonies, praises, surprises and heartaches. We’ve included a few in this email—if you’ve got a few spare minutes, we'd love to share with you...

Don in Kenya: Don left two days after we arrived back in Malawi for Kenya. He stayed there for four weeks studying the science of natural medicine and bio-intensive farming. The organization he trained with is called "Organics 4 Orphans". He learned how to farm organically and how to teach villagers to consume more raw food and organic greens. He will document this trip on our blog, and has written one entry so far: greenfamilymalawi.blogspot

With new farming techniques, our gardens at

Hope Village have produced a bounty of

beautiful vegetables. This widow with 5 children

is taking from our garden because her family has

been without food for a week. We are teaching

her and others how to mimic this garden in their

own villages.

Medicinal and Prayerful Healing: Based on what he learned in Kenya, Don has begun treating villagers in our clinic with plant-based medicines. He has three groups: mal-nourished children; children and adults who are HIV positive; and children with chronic malaria. We’ve just incorporated prayers of healing into this natural medicinal ap-proach and are seeing amazing results. Don is documenting and will share results in good time.

This mom and her malnourished 17-month old baby Joice are

coming here weekly as part of Don’s study based on plant

based nutritional supplements.

SENIOR MOMENTS

Can you afford to lose $125,000? Apparently it happened earlier this year to a 79-year-old woman in

La Mesa!

--Chuck Boatman

Here’s her story as told to Roxana Popescu and pu b l i s he d by t he U -T S a n D i e g o . [http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/feb/18/tp-la-mesa-senior-says-she-lost-125000-in/]

Catalogs, sweepstakes prize letters, and phone calls were the first steps on the road to her belief that she had won a big cash prize. This is how the U-T article describes what happened:

“. . . [S]he was not winning anything. Instead, she had begun feeding a ravenous fraud machine that would not be sated until it had sucked her life savings, her credit line, her car, her jewelry, and her peace of mind. Within two and a half weeks, she lost more than $98,000. A second scheme, which unfolded weeks later, sucked another $27,500 from her.

Your first reaction is probably similar to mine: “How could she be so dumb? Hasn’t she heard about this kind of scam?” San Diego Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood, head of the Elder Abuse Prosecution unit, says this kind of crime against elders is “escalating.”

The problem isn’t a question of the woman being “dumb.” Older people generally are part of a more trusting generation, perhaps not so given to the cyni-cism that pervades society today. We also tend not to be as technologically “savvy” as younger people, thus making us easier prey to scams that use high-tech means to select us and prey on us.

The escalating cost of living—and particularly the cost of our health care as we age—can make us fear that we might outlive our resources. So the temptation to fall for the promise of the possibility of easy money also comes into the picture.

The La Mesa woman thought she was entering sweep-stakes, but the “entry fees” were going to thieves in Jamaica and the Philippines. They promised that addi-tional payments would increase her chances of win-ning, as well as recover what she was losing when the hoped-for payoff did not come. She said, “When I got into it and lost some money, I had to win it back. I

couldn’t face my kids and say I had lost all this money. The more I lost, I just got deeper and deeper in it. I have ‘sucker’ written in red letters across my forehead. . . . I’m so embar-rassed.”

Lt. Matt Nicholass, spokesman with the La Mesa Police De-partment, offered this advice: “If somebody won something, they should not have to pay money to receive that gift. If someone is asking for money in advance, there’s usually a problem involved.” The victim added her own advice: “If they ask for money, just tear it up or tell them no. Don’t do it. . . . If it sounds too good to be true, it’s not true. Don’t give any money. Hang up.”

The woman’s experience is one of several types of “elder abuse” that take place frequently. The San Diego County District Attorney’s office has a very helpful webpage. I strongly urge you to check it out, either for yourself or for an elderly friend or loved one: www.sdcda.org/helping/elder-abuse.html

TEN TIPS TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF BECOMING THE NEXT VICTIM OF FINANCIAL EDLER ABUSE

1. Choose a caregiver with caution.

2. Keep an inventory of all jewelry.

3. Every home should have a shredder.

4. Protect your incoming and outgoing mail.

5. Obtain a credit search on yourself at least two or three times a year.

6. Every telephone should have caller I.D. fitted

7. You will never win the Canadian Lottery.

8. Consider allowing your bank to send a duplicate copy of your monthly statement to a trusted family member or professional advisor.

9. Don’t assume that the friendly handyman is in fact li-censed.

10. Always have a second line of defense at your front door.

(From Paul Greenwood, Deputy D.A. of San Diego D.A.’s Office, Head of Elder Abuse Prosecution)

June 2013 The Chimes page 3

The Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 3:7-8 that he

became a servant of the gospel by God’s grace—

despite being “less that the least of all.” What

humility! Perhaps because of Paul’s humility, God

chose to use him in a mighty way.

I know people who have that same kind of humility.

On a regular basis, this group of “the least of all”

arrives at our church early Sunday mornings, and

every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. These

people don’t ask what they’re going to get, but they

pray that the Lord will help them have something to

give. These people who’d never think of calling

attention to themselves minister to our babies,

children, and youth each week. As these quiet

servants minister, they give their time and energy,

denying themselves for the sake of making a

difference in the lives of our children.

Some prepare lessons for children, others

work tirelessly in support roles. They persevere even

when their tasks are thankless. After all, our

children—present responsibility and future hope—

are counting on them.

I’ve even seen one particular sound technician in our

church miss his cues during worship as he praises

the Lord while watching children respond to the

gospel. He’s not there simply to push buttons; he’s

there to witness miracles.

One teacher’s heart was broken because he didn’t

want his growing class to be split into two classes.

“Kids today experience enough separation and

disappointment.” I’m the one who had to tell him the

class will be split because it was too big.

Week after week, one young lady patiently serves in

the nursery. When I peek in, I see her on her knees

with the children. She calls every child in her class

by name and tells them she’s proud of them. She

hugs them goodbye, waving and smiling as their

parents take them away. It’s amazing that in a

world where so many kids are abandoned, this young

lady gives herself to a room full of children.

As children line up for prayer, another husband-and-

wife-team kneels to pray with their Sunday school

class. They listen intently to each request, take their

needs seriously, and pray passionately. Many times

tears spill over as they hold the hands of a child. I

don’t know what prayers our children share, but they

often break their teachers’ hearts.

Leading a line of kids into the gym, an Awana leader

smiles broadly. The kids who follow him laugh and

skip. These fortunate kids can’t begin to realize the

sacrifice this young man has made to teach. I

wonder if they’ll ever learn of the miracles that have

taken place in his life. He’s gained a unique place in

the hearts of those he ministers to.

Another woman greets kids warmly, but few know

the real reason she’s here. She prays silently during

the service for them. Her reward isn’t in children’s

smiles or pats on the back. Her reward is in seeing

kids respond to the Word of God. She isn’t very

eloquent when she speaks, but her prayers must be,

for she persuades Heaven on behalf of our children.

The hearts of these servants overflow with love for

our children. They don’t stand in front of a crowd,

and they aren’t showered with innumerable praises.

Some people might believe they aren’t really the

most important folks here. But I’ve come to realize

that the least of all make the most impact of all for

the kingdom of God.

In His Love,

Beth Ann

Heart Matters: The Least of All

Happy Father’s Day from the Preschoolers...

Walk a little slower, Daddy,

said a child so small.

I’m following in your footsteps

and I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

sometimes they are hard to see

so walk a little slower, Daddy,

...for you are leading me.

Someday when I’m grown up,

you’re what I want to be;

then I will have a little child

who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,

and know that I was true;

so walk a little slower, Daddy

for I must follow you.

A Few Words from A Few of Our Very Own…Seniors!

TestaMays from Grads charged

more than a few words of

encouragement to share with 463!

“In seventh grade I took this challenge...it

wasn't easy...but it is the best feeling in

the world--to be comfortable with your-

self...I want to encourage you to take the

challenge...Let God take control of your

life to lead you to where you need to

be...and who you need to become in

Christ...if you don't stand for some-

thing, you're gonna fall for every-

thing…” - Alex Bodurtha

“…when you see other people…grasp that

concept, that’s what really…started to

affect me—more than my own realiza-

tion, because I knew who God was, but

it’s when other people start to accept

it...when I see other people making

strides in their faith and staying consis-

tent...that’s what drives me. Seeing other

people continue to grow--that’s what I

love most…” - Micah Marroquin

“This last camp – Winter Wipeout 2013…

the messages….hit home (every one of

them)…Are You a Christian? Was the

biggest one…the real meaning of Christi-

anity…I couldn’t call myself a Christian

until the last night Diane prayed over

me…that night I changed for the good,

for sure. Since then, I have matured so

much in my faith.”

The Tuft of Flowers

I went to turn the grass once after one Who mowed it in the dew before the sun.

The dew was gone that made his blade so keen Before I came to view the leveled scene.

I looked for him behind an isle of trees; I listened for his whetstone on the breeze.

But he had gone his way, the grass all mown, And I must be, as he had been—alone,

“As all must be,” I said within my heart, “Whether they work together or apart.”

But as I said it, swift there passed me by On noiseless wing a bewildered butterfly,

Seeking with memories grown dim o’er night Some resting flower of yesterday’s delight.

And once I marked his flight go round and round, As where some flower lay withering on the ground.

And then he flew as far as eye could see, And then on tremulous wing came back to me.

I thought of questions that have no reply, And would have turned to toss the grass to dry;

But he turned first, and led my eye to look At a tall tuft of flowers beside a brook.

A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.

The mower in the dew had loved them thus, By leaving them to flourish, not for us,

Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him, But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.

The butterfly and I had lit upon, Nevertheless, a message from the dawn,

That made me hear the wakening birds around, And hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,

And feel a spirit kindred to my own; So that henceforth I worked no more alone,

But glad with him, I worked as with his aid, And weary, sought at noon with him the shade;

And dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech With one whose thought I had not hoped to reach.

“Men work together,” I told him from the heart, “Whether they work together or apart.”

Mission / Ministry Opportunities & Reports

An Update from Janet Rowland,

a Missionary Supported by SonRise Christian Fellowship

Spring, Hopefulness and

Watching God at Work

That first winter in Poland was a long one. For almost 20 years I'd lived in places with no 'real'

winter. The snow which was enchanting in Decem-ber was downright annoying in March. I was ready to see some green, and colors besides black, white

and gray.

It was a long wait, but when that week came in April, and the snow began to melt and we saw the

spring flowers push through the ground, I was almost giddy. The flowers which bloomed through

the winter on the Texas coast and in California were suddenly very special because we'd waited so long

for them. Spring meant more when you'd lived through a long, cold winter. And when you hear the

birds chirping and see the flower buds waiting to open, you can't help but feel hopeful.

The beautiful spring season has arrived and the signs are all around (like the nesting Stork pair in

the picture here). It brings a natural sense of hopefulness. But more is happening too. As I hear the stories from our churches and leaders in Hun-

gary, Poland, France and other countries in Europe it's so clear that God is answering prayers and

opening doors for us to share Christ.

Join with us in praying that the spirit would burst forth with new fruit this spring!

A Word from Annie’s Closet ...

An Update from Annie Green, One of Our Very Own Serving with her Family as a Missionary in Malawi

Annie's Closet: We just completed the painting of an empty room in the clinic, built some shelves, and added a small dressing room. It is bright yellow to match Annie's Closet logo, complete with red/yellow curtains. A happy room that makes us happy! We began moving all of the clothes and shoes from our old storage room to this new, clean, joy-filled room last week. We will be shopping in April to add gifts of love with the money we raised: blankets, soap, and more clothes and shoes for some of the poorest children and adults in the world.

New Tailors: Two of the students from our tailoring class last year are still going strong in their new sewing business. The best thing is, they are making school uniforms for the poorest children in the village who cannot afford one. (The schools expel the children when they don't have a uniform. So many kids are not in school for this reason alone!). So, with money from Annie's Closet, we were able to buy sewing machines for them and buy school uniforms from these newly trained tailors. This gives them business, and gives uniforms to the most needy.

Annie and Abby: Abigail Mora, 16, flew back with us in January...She and Annie get along like sisters, and both have a servant's heart inside the house and out. Abby is a bursting bubble of energy, and we can usually find the two of them out in the village, embracing our Malawian neighbors and culture, praying for the sick at the clinic, working in Annie's Closet, or loving on the toddlers in the preschool. Their big project last month was an Easter play. They wrote it, held auditions, and held daily practices with 40+ primary school children every day for over a month. The production was a huge success, performed for the village families where we live.

Annie is sitting here with 2 village girls happily wearing their new school uniforms that were donated by Annie’s Closet ministry and sewn

by James, one of the tailors trained in the Annie’s Closet Tailor class.

Almost every day we run across someone in

desperate need of a shirt without holes, shorts with a

zipper, or a dress not in shreds. We always take

before/after shots like this; praise God for these

provisions and for those who support the Annie’s Closet

ministry.

Some warm & witty thoughts on June from

writers, both— of old & now...Enjoy!

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker

A life without love is like a year without summer. ~Swedish Proverb

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn

mower is broken. ~James Dent

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or

watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

No price is set on the lavish summer; June may be had by the poorest comer.

~James Russell Lowell, The Vision of Sir Launfal, 1848

It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sun-shine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.

~Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy-Tacy and Tib, 1941

Do what we can, summer will have its flies. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the

English language. ~Henry James

Hey! It's summer! Be free and happy and danceful and uninhibited and now-y! ~Terri Guillemets

A man says a lot of things in summer he doesn't mean in

winter. ~Patricia Briggs

My father used to play with my brother and me in the

yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing

up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would

Malnourished Babies and Moringa Miracles: We only saw two or three malnourished babies at our clinic all of last year, and have already seen dozens in the three months we've been back. (This, because we are in the worst “Hungry Season” in years.) We are giving them all Moringa powder (dried and ground leaves from the Moringa tree), which is full of more vitamins, nutri-ents, protein, etc. than almost any food you can find. They simply add the powder to their food or to a cup of water and they have a full day of nutrition in their hungry little bodies.

This boy came to us hungry last month … he

and his family of five ate nothing but bananas

for a week from a friend's tree.

The Hungry Season: We are experiencing our first "Hungry Season" in Malawi, which occurs every year December through April (when the rains come). This means very little food and no work (for money to buy food) to be found. When people come asking for help, we assess their needs by visiting their homes, meet with their chiefs, determine if they can be helped by their family/neighbors/church, etc., and most importantly, we pray with them. Then, we get to work from there. The needs are overflowing, abun-dant and almost unmanageable: starving families, sick families, crumbling homes and so many malnour-ished children.

Madalitso Before and After

Madalitso is our “Moringa miracle baby”. Pictured above in the first photo, Madalitso is 15 months old when he first came to us

at nine pounds and suffering from starvation. In just six months, Madalitso has doubled his weight, is crawling and standing and

can almost walk on his own. We hope to have many more Moringa testimonies like Mada!

Please help us in praising God for His mighty works at Hope Village in Malawi, and for our family’s health and provisions. Please pray for the kingdom of God to reign in our small village in the District of Chikhwawa. Too many here are physically and spiri-tually hungry, sick, dying. Our plea is for the Holy Spirit to pour like rain on this dry desert, for more to follow the commandment to “love thy neighbor” … so there are fewer orphans, lonely widows, deserted wives, starving families.

Please know that we (Don, Leanne, Annie) are self-funded and do not seek or accept personal support from our church, family or friends. However, if you’d like to support a project, Malawian family, orphan, widow, baby or other ministry here at Hope Village, we can help direct you to one that tugs at your heart.

With love,
