Nazareth House Apostolate

Like the ocean shuffling the waves from shore to shore, tide in, tide out;

the humanitarian aid supplies flow from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other.    One box at a time, packed to the brim, each parcel represents love and care for one another.  

Those chopping wood, tending to the farm, laboring hard each day will be so excited to receive a little muscle relief.

This shipment represents one of two that were sent from our Nazareth House in Augusta, Georgia headed up by Liz Holt.   Although two boxes were sent, we are confident that the Salone Post will surely grant the delivery of the second box, too.   We are thankful to our Nazareth House, Augusta who have also been working hard to raise funds for the Compound.  They are very aware that NHA will not be able to provide and distribute the supplies such as you see on this blog today without the NHA Compound, the center of operations in Kabala.  We cannot store and house supplies if we have no place of residency.   We are quickly running out of time and we must raise the remaining balance due on the construction of the Compound.  NHA positions itself within the villages that it serves.  We have purposely chosen a sturdy structure that accommodates our needs – housing our staff, storage of our supplies and as a guest house for those visiting through NHA.   A place of service to the people in need.

Our builder is at a stand still until he receives more funds.  Please spread the word today, help us move NHA forward so that we can tend to the work at hand.

Our Nazareth House group working in Sacramento Area will be hosting a Beer Tasting & Pizza Party on October 9th!  If you are in the area, come enjoy the fellowship and participate in helping NHA provide for those in need at the same time. Any questions contact: Kathy Webb by clicking on this link  Beer & Pizza Host Email   For Information on this NHA Event click on this link: Beer Tasting & Pizza for NHA, Carmichael, CA

Other Nazareth House Chapters are creatively coming up with Events to raise money, including Nazareth House Chico, California who are in the planning stages of a Fundraising Walk-a-thon: “Pray Walk Love” for the work of NHA in Sierra Leone; scheduled for January 1st, 2011.   When plans are complete we’ll forward more info.

Nazareth House represents Team Players from both sides of the Ocean.  As aid arrives from the USA,  our NHA Team in Sierra Leone puts it to work, changing lives for the better.  Tide in, Tide out.

How often do you see a young man happily listening to a cassette tape player – no ipod here – & look at his smile?

This is what it is all about; people working together, loving one another, doing what they can to boost up the lives of those who have fallen in the cracks, barely able to survive.  The love and unity found in the supporters of NHA is incredible.  We commend you in all your efforts.   God knows, God sees, God hears (John 10:14), (Acts 7:34)

Last week, Fr. David Webb and his wife, Kathy visited Jonah House in Kentucky.   On the Friday of their stay, Seraphim and I took them on a pre-trial run of our annual Rosary Pilgrimage which will be held this year on Saturday, October 9th, 2010.

Many of you make this NHA Pilgrimage with us annually and we look forward to your return for it this year.

We begin our Rosary Pilgrimage with a beautiful scenic drive

starting the Rosary intro prayers

overlooking the Ohio River

 that separates Kentucky and Indiana.

The first set of Mysteries are said at the little church in Leopold, Indiana – St. Augustine.

From there we travel on toward St Meinrad, Indiana,

saying the sets of Mysteries at both the Shrine of St. Joseph and then onto Our Lady of Monte Cassino Chapel (where we also have a picnic lunch).  

Our final Rosary Mysteries are said at the Sanctuary of the St. Meinrad Archabbey.

From there we take time to visit the Abbey Press Gift Shop.  

Here Kathy and Fr. Webb found shoes marked down to 50 cents each

for NHA to give out in Sierra Leone.  

Kathy and Fr. Webb bought enough shoes to fill our trunk up.  

Looks like more bare feet will have shoes on them in the near future in Salone.  Thanks Kathy & Fr. Webb.

Hey Mama,

I hooked up with Anthony, the builder,  in downtown Freetown, 

 the other day and saw the windows & frames he is fixing for the compound.  

There is a lot of wrap-up work going on in Kabala on the Compound 

and I guess (if the money is there to pay off what we owe) we will soon see a completed Compound for us to move in. 

He said he has used up all the last money that you sent on windows (glass windows with wire mesh) panel doors etc.  

He is now targeted to transport all these works of wood to Kabala this week.   

So expect a good look at the Compound with more details 

completed and better pictures soon. 

He said the well was left out for now till the rains dry down.  

That way the water table is fully settled. He looks on to do more work as soon as he gets more money from us.   

You told me that money has been very slow last few weeks, I pray that people see the need to complete this project and begin sending in more money soon.  

What is it we have left, like $30,000?   

That is such a small amount compared to millions other Humanitarian Organizations spend on their Office Centers.  

We are a team at NHA and I know we can do this, we can make this happen.  We are so close to reaching our goal.   I know many are struggling and have little to give NHA – but somehow they always manage to give of their little.

God knows this and sees them sacrifice for the poor in Sierra Leone.  I like Pa Barrie’s words “The good deeds you do for others on earth are the skin you wear in heaven”   I like that. 

 It wont be too long and we will be told to move out of the current St. Laurence House. I can see the signs.  So if you can push to get the word out for people to help us, please do.  But mama, they have done a lot, make sure they know we are thankful for everything, especially all the lives here in Salone that are getting better from the hands of those who make it possible.


More later,
Son.
