What’s One More?

What’s one more little brother when you already have three others? Yup. This little street guy has proclaimed  Liberty his big sis ‘forever’… they laugh and goof off just like she does with her other little brothers. He’s a complete doll, tenderhearted and gentle… but his life has had some cruel twists and living on the streets…

Completely Broken

After spending a large part of the week-end  crying off and on,  praying and thinking about some things  that have been transpiring here… I am going to attempt to articulate  what’s going on in the hearts of this team. Let me start at the beginning…. As most know our own  International Voice of the Orphan…

This Sunday I Am…

thanking the Lord for the privilege of  turning on my water faucet for a drink or for a shower or to do the dishes or to do laundry…. And I am also repenting for not realizing  I need to do it everyday… This trip my heart has been broken over and over… I don’t think…

Progress

Two weeks ago I shared a “yukky” story about a little orphan boy whose finger was eaten by a rat as he slept in his orphanage home. I asked for help to build a dorm for these little treasures…. a dorm that would be safe from rats and rodents and even slithery things. A generous…

YOU Did It!

Yesterday I received an email from the couple who had  generously offered the Matching Grant for $12,500. Their email was completely crazy.

Greetings from Uganda

We have arrived –  the flights were awesome. It was beyond wonderful to hug our girl. Emmy kept starting to cry she was so grateful  that we were finally here. The team is a group of precious ladies… seven plus me and Emma… The team has bonded tightly together and they all have  such pure…

Short Notice

Today I have been unable to stop the tears from welling in my eyes. All day long. Of course, I am missing my Emmy and tomorrow Dw will be heading home with the team.  Reality sets in.  This is truly happening.  I’m used to Emma and Dw leading teams for 3 weeks at a time,…

Tucked In

Someone made a comment the other day about enjoying hearing good news. The comment made me stop in my tracks.  It’s true. In an age where troubles about, we all need some good news. Over here in our home we have been rejoicing in some super good things…and all of a sudden I realized that…
