Brother Albert Robinson
80 Years Young

Brother Robinson was a Minister for 18 years before converting to the Church 10 years ago. The first week we attended meetings in Great Bend he gave the closing prayer. He started by saying "We'll now close our eyes and bow our heads. Out of this meek & mild man came a Great & Loud sermon of a prayer. We both opened our eyes and looked around to be sure we were in the right church. Bro Robinson's wife drops him off him off at church each Sunday and then goes to her church. We generally take him home. On the way homes he tells us story about life in Great Bend when he was growing up. When we reach his home he always tells us "My wife Ann is a good Christian woman".

Home Sweet Home

After being homeless for exactly one month we found a split entry duplex in Great Bend.

It certainly wasn't a cabin in the mountains or a castle on the beach but we were so grateful to have a place of our own (well at least half a place) and Larry was excited to have a garage. We overlooked the fact that it was totally bare, no carpeting and we had to go up and down stairs all day, which we consider our exercise. We live only 5 miles from the Ward and close to shopping.

Habitat for Humanity
Lyons, KS

A home for Gwyn Hogg. Gwyn and her husband had never owned a home and applied to Habitat for Humanity for the opportunity. They put in their sweat equity but before their home was started Mr. Hogg passed away. Normally this would disqualify Gwyn but the community felt compelled to help her see her dream. We were temporarily living in Lyons and decided volunteering to help in the construction was a great way to spend our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
