Roger's b-day @ El Camino



Yep, the big guy celebrated another birthday in Bolivia this April, and we were all present to honor him, thank him, feast on his behalf, and of course smash his face partly into some cake! 21 years ago, Roger & Isha Hulford left their native England & came out to Santa Cruz, Bolivia to launch the ministry we serve in, Operation Restoration, with Youth With a Mission. Although he'll tell you it's taken quite a bit longer than he'd planned for, God has used Roger to bless countless lives and restore hope to many who have been utterly lost. All of his who form part of the team here, stand on his broad shoulders who courageously had the vision, took the risk & answered the call to, 'GO,' before there were any homes or restored lives or any manuals of how God was going to do all this.
Roger's party was legendary. The girls danced, Luis Miguel rapped, the food was great & oh yes there was quite a large pinata that Roger got to bust open. All & all twas' a grand ole time and we got to sing happy birthday in Spanish, Portugese, English & Dutch - complete with the whole hip-hip-hooray chants and everything. Thanks Roger for many faithful years of service!
