DIVINE WORD FARMS: FLOOD UPDATE

As of June 16th, reports show that 60% of Iowa farmland is under water.

Divine Word Farms in Iowa consists of about 1,700 acres. None of our farmland is under water. Only one farm, approximately 180 acres, is not planted. Although some of our farmland is still very muddy, we have come through the crisis in remarkably good shape.

Special Visitor, Special Gift

We had a special visit the other day. Four-year- old Jayne brought over forty colorful, soft blankets for kids in our orphanage in Pune, India. Jayne’s older brother and sister have made a practice of celebrating their birthdays by asking their friends to bring gifts for poor children and now Jayne is following in their footsteps.

It’s a wonderful thing when children in the U.S. realize how blessed they are every day and decide to celebrate one of their most special days, their birthday, by remembering kids who have very little. It’s surely an inspiration for all of us.

Thanks, Jayne!

Scholarship Fund
Diocese of Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea

The Diocese of Kundiawa, under the leadership of Bishop Henk te Maarssen SVD, has established the Fr. John Wald SVD Scholarship to defray the expenses of the diocese’s 25 seminarians. Fr. Wald was the diocesan director of vocations for many years and retired when he reached age 85.

Bishop Henk te Maarssen's goal for this year is to build the scholarship fund to $5,000.
