Since there&#8217;s no way to cover all that has happened since our last official update, we&#8217;ll just share some of our more recent pictures and family news. We&#8217;ve been planning, hosting, and ministering with short-term teams, to the tune of an average of 25 teams a year &#8211; with most of the summers off! So we&#8217;ll do our best to give you a little sample of what we&#8217;ve been up to.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for praying for us, and for your support.

Working hard, doing our best to keep up, and the kids just won&#8217;t stop growing! We just kicked off a new school year and while the kids aren&#8217;t exactly thrilled (ha!), it&#8217;s good to have the structure again after a full summer. Two major changes this year&#8230; Cooper moved out in the spring, worked the summer in Minnesota, and is now settled in to Elim Bible College in Lima, NY. One out of the nest &#8211; just a strange feeling! We&#8217;re proud of him. Finney also started pre-schooler at the Roca Multigrade School on the base, after turning 4 last month! He wasn&#8217;t so sure at first, but it&#8217;s a wonderful environment for him, and he&#8217;s enjoying the learning, and being around kids his age! We&#8217;re really grateful for God&#8217;s faithfulness to all the kids.

This will save us money, but also (and importantly!) allow us to have power when there are outages. This will help us not lose food, continue to be in contact, and see beyond candlelight in the evenings. The whole system will cost just about $15,000. <strong>Would you consider being part of getting us to that goal by giving toward this project <em>before November 30th?<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>That is the deadline for the matching offering, and it will enable your dollars to double!<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in giving toward the solar panel system or with general ministry support, here&#8217;s how you can do that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sending a check made out to &#8220;Roca Blanca Missions&#8221; at <strong>Roca Blanca Missions, PO Box 1101, Hutchinson, KS 67504-1101.\u00a0<\/strong>Simply memo it &#8220;Ben and Hannah Clark&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Scanning the QR code and completing the online giving form.
