“Tijuana Blitz” Includes Kids in Jail
Would you believer that 150 went to Mexico in September? With three buses, we literally “blitzed” Tijuana in one day at four sites. My team went to the La Mesa Jail in Tijuana. The children really responded and so did their parents. We got the names of twenty-five children who received Jesus. Many parents prayed too. God is at work in Mexico.

Barney & Sharon Visit Grandsons in MD
Tennyson (2) and Benjamin (5) each had birthdays. Spencer is taking all this in. Attendance is required, you know. We had such a grand family time.
Fun-Factory Carnival on Halloween
Michael LaFond and I were the featured speakers for this outreach event. The Christian Community Alliance Church in Northridge, CA sponsored the Carnival. Of the 1800 families and children who came, 516 came to our four performances. Judging only by the folded ticket responses, there were 247 guests that prayed to accept Christ.

Barney continues to mentor children’s leaders with Kidology.org. Two more students are now making plans to join Eric Ward in the Kidology Coaching Program. Pray about this growing program.

Next Kid Mission is Dec 21-23
The Baja Kid Mission trip is coming just before Christmas. I will be leading a team that will be going to the Ensenada Jail and San Telmos to work with the Migrant children, then we return to do a children’s program in Tijuana.
On Going Support Needs
We are now looking at our situation for support and we are still behind. You may need to know that I have not drawn a salary for over 35 years. I only take a draw from monies that are donated to our support account. We average in that account around $1650 per month. $2,000 was set as our minimum.
Crisis Averted, Praise the Lord
Through a last minute, just in time, donation we were able to pay bills due in October. It was close. Mission trips have a downside, less earned income to maintain the office. Thanks for your prayers.
This Thanksgiving…
As we gather together this year, let us be mindful that many will not sit down to a big meal with family. Let’s do something practical. Why not set aside a $25 donation as a Thanksgiving Offering. If you send it to me, I will send it to India. Fifty kids can be fed for a whole month for $25 at the Sathyam Orphanage in Mumbai (Bambay).
Year-End Gifts
It is not too early to consider a special year-end giving. It seems that every year we have to draw a line and start over, with our ministry. We anticipate that we will be close to $3,000 in unmet expenses by years end. This is something that needs prayer.
India Project: New Refrigerator
The Joint Heir S.S. Class of Whittier Area Community Church donated $350 for a new refrigerator for Noah Jebaraj family in India. His family has never had a refrigerator, so this was a special gift. They are so grateful for this love gift.
Gratefulness
“I like to think of gratefulness as my deep personal response to anything that God does, just for me. It is, as though, I was the only one in the family. Of course, that is not true, but it feels that personal at times, when you know ‘all good and perfect gifts come from Him.’” Barney
