CHARIS SHALOM

Tara Lyn Lavy Riley turned 37 years old yesterday. What a blessing she is to this family. She excels at womanhood, as a wife, a mother, and a teacher. She has a profound love for God and a tremendous desire to see others come to an understanding of the truth about Jesus. She never fears telling others the reason for her hope. I’ve watched her walk into mansions and into slums with a bible in her hand. I’ve watched her hold our children and some of the most disadvantaged children in the world. She has trusted God more than her own reason as she has walked with her children into areas of danger to Westerners. She knows Who God Is and is preparing her life every day to do whatever He asks. I’m so proud of her and so blessed to have her as my wife.
