June 15, 2005...
As the time for the final payment came due, we realized that we were $4000 short on raising support. With our adoption expenses creeping upward and with due dates getting closer, we had to make the difficult decission not to travel to China this summer. We hope that in the future we will be able to travel as a family to server the Lord and the people of China. We still are greatful for those who support us and the missions ministry of AWAA.org.
Mission Trip
Adoption is one way God shows His love to children
who may otherwise never know the love of a father and mother.
This summer, July 2-15, America World Adoption Association (AWAA), with support from
Shaohannah's Hope will lead a teams to China to visit
the Fushun Orphanage. While at there, we plan
on blessing them with donated supplies and equipment. Our work
will primarily consist of spending quality time with the
children and we have plans to take the children on excursions
out of the orphanage and throw them a birthday party. Most
importantly we have plans to simply hold them and share the
love of Christ with them.
A visit to an orphanage in China will change our lives
forever. We will go with and eager heart to serve...to give
what they have to help encourage an orphan...to somehow make
their life a little better. We are told that what we don't expect is that
we will leave with abundantly more than we came with. We will see
first-hand how God works in the lives of the fatherless. It is
indeed humbling to be the hands and arms of Jesus. We don't
have to speak their language, we just need a willing heart...
This summer America World has invited us to help tell
orphans in China that they belong. During an unforgettable
trip, we'll see how lives can be changed through the
unmistakable fingerprint of the Creator...in the lives of
orphans...and in our lives.
