Well it seems to be that we have fell a little behind on our updates! A few of NCF's staff has been out and about traveling and visiting churches during the months of Jan. & Feb. Bo traveled to OH and met a lot of wonderful people. During their stay different families from Cobblestone Community Church welcomed him and his wife Rosita into their homes. The hospitality was GREAT!! Bo shared NCF's story with 3 different organizations. The trip went so well that Cobblestone wants to bring back Bo in June to visit more locations.

The Browning's traveled back home for a visit and was able to speak at 4 different locations. Joey Browning was even able to be on the local radio/tv program in Salem IN. The Browning's stated they seen God with them the whole time away, through the love that poured out to them from their home church, New Life Christian Church of Lanesville, the financial support received for NCF at a Prospectives Class, Variety of items donated to NCF from a presentation given at St.Johns Church in Lanesville, the few churches that showed interest in wanting to bring mission teams to NCF, a little girl who said God moved in her heart and wanted to donate her savings of $14 to the Browning's and challenged everyone else to match that donation. As of date she has raised over $300.00, We are praising God for saving their life on the side of a busy expressway changing a flat tire. There are many more ways, in fact to many to mention. God is truly blessing them for their service here at NCF!

Speaking of blessings a new company, Soaring Eagles, moved into the administration building during the month of February and has recently hired James & Carol to run those offices. James looks at this opportunity as a financial blessing for him and Carol. NCF has not been able to pay the director (James) for quite some time, so this blessing allows them both to still be here on campus, available for NCF, and earn income.

Our Recreation Center is still currently closed due to the water leak. Joey & Bo have finally been able to repair the interior leak and are planning on completing the exterior leak this weekend. We are praying we are able to have the gym up and running again by the week of March 22nd. We will still have 3 boys' urinals that will need to be replaced.

We are so excited about another opportunity that has came to Bo. He currently teaches an Over Comers class at the Dilkon Behavioral Health which is a Christian faith based class. In June DBH is having a Youth Conference and they have set one whole day a side just for faith. Bo has been asked to organize this day! We are so excited for him and look forward to see just how he is going to reach the youth for Jesus Christ.

We currently have 2 children in foster care. James announced at our staff meeting the other night that the reason for a lack of children is currently there is no prosecutor for Dilkon. I assume without a prosecutor Social Services can not press charges on the parents and remove the children from the homes. For us I guess only having 2 children at this time is ok due to the children's home being out of propane to heat the home. If you take a look at our P&L reports you will understand why NCF is unable to pay.

We are also pleased to announce we currently have 4 churches sending mission teams to NCF this summer. We are always excited to see our brothers and sisters in Christ and to share opportunities to reach out to the community. The teams thus far are First Capitol from Corydon IN, Cobblestone Community Church from Lebanon OH, New Life Christian Church from Lanesville IN, and United Methodist. We plan on having a lot of fun with these guys and we are currently coming up with work projects and projects that will allow us to give and share Gods love with the community.
