Safely Home

Thought I'd share some highlights from the trip. It was another amazing journey where we saw the Hand of God many times. I was so blessed to be able to share this trip with "my girls", Angela, Amy, Danielle, and Meagan. They are amazing teenagers, and have such a special heart for orphans.

We attended church twice in China. That was a definite highlight. The staff at the orphanage seemed very open to our return visit and pretty much gave us the run of the place. One of our girls, Flower, who is blind, accepted the Lord as her personal Savior. It doesn't get much better than that!

Visiting the foster homes gave us a vision to the many possibilites of caring for our orphans in Chaoyang. We had lots of "what if" and "how could we" moments.

The team remained healthy, united, and showed a servant's heart. It was a true blessing to be a part of such an amazing group of people.

Please be in prayer for the children of Chaoyang. They have to be missing us right now. Hopefully, they are laying their heads on their pillow at night feeling loved. They most definitely are.

Just got word the cribs arrived! YAY!
