What Heroes Gave
by Roger J. Robicheau (Sp 5, US Army)


         Each donned their uniform to be
Defenders of our liberty

Their mission sure, their spirits bright
Guard freedom’s home, be brave to fight

One final day each faced their call
Each gave their best enduring all

We’ll never know what they went through
But know they loved this country true

Deep down inside we should all feel
What heroes gave, their cost so real

We must stay thankful, grateful of
The gift of freedom through their love

Their loved ones bore the gravest pain
What we can’t know, some now sustain

To God I pray their pain will cease
And each will find long-lasting peace


Remember this from year to year
What heroes gave – shan’t disappear

We’ll never let their special day
Their time for honor slip away

These brave fought for a nation free
If not for them, where would we be?

Missions Update:
 
Bill & Barbara Fair (InFaith)
Bill and Barbara Fair (InFaith) have had a busy, but blessed Springtime! They were gone quite-a-while when they went to Georgia to visit with Barbara's mom and family. They, also, attended 2 conferences while they were away and shared with 75 people about what God has been doing in their lives. Barbara said this was a major highlight of the trip.
Bill and Barbara just finished the "Training of the Twelve", which is an annual discipleship and fellowship time with turkey hunting. They had an excellent time this year with more than 12 men coming! 
They are ready for a little (a lot) R&R on the home front until June 1st. Then is when the summer teen camps begin. There is one in LaVeta, one in Greeley, and two in Montrose. Please pray for safety and open hearts! (Oh, and energy for Bill and Barbara)  
 
 
Cannon family in Indonesia: 
Sean is recently recovering from Typhoid which canceled their Christmas plans.  They are very thankful for competent doctors near them that could treat him effectively.  "As always, we want to thank you for your part in our lives and ministry with MAF.  Through times of illness, celebration, rest, challenge, and overwhelming busyness, we are encouraged to know that so many people are praying for us and giving financially to help us thrive here where God has placed us.  THANK YOU!"
 
 
Kenya:
Here is a link to a video of the orphans in Kenya to whom Mark and Lisa Hauger are ministering:
