We are overjoyed to be starting Kerrybrook Apartments Kids Club once again in May. The children so need to be able to be encouraged by the Word of God and our loving Kids Club team. We will meet with them each week throughout the summer. Please pray for God’s safety for the students and team, for understanding of God’s Word, and for a difference to be made in the lives of these precious children.
Teen Time has finally begun again and we are so happy to be back with our youth! It has been a difficult year for them and they have many questions about what God is doing in their lives. Please pray as Pete and Joyce reconnect with these amazing young people that we will be able to pour the love of God into their lives. We plan to meet with the teens throughout the summer and take them on a weekend retreat the first weekend of August.
Anne Cooney has graciously accepted bookkeeping responsibilities for OWI. She has been a major volunteer help in the past to OWI and is once again stepping into this very important role. Aimee will assist Anne in the daily posting, receipting, and balancing activities while Anne takes on the responsibility of payroll, payroll taxes, and other reporting to keep our ministry running smoothly.
Aimee Neugebauer, Administrative Assistant has accepted additional hours and responsibilities which Homer formally handeled. Joyce and Aimee will be dividing Homer’s workload and asking God to provide additional volunteers where needed. Aimee has been with our ministry for three years and is an invaluable asset to our organization.

From the inner city of San Antonio, to the Riverside Apartments, to the countries of Moldova and Ni
One Way International board members, present and past wish Homer Schott a happy, healthy, and well-deserved retirement! Many have been the hats that Homer has worn during his twenty year service with OWI. From inception in 2001, he was the one to do all the paperwork to get the ministry started. One of our volunteers lovingly nick-named him our “Kid-magnet!”
