4 Months and 11 Kids Later . . .

These past four months have been incredible and it is all thanks to you! These kids' lives have been changed in ways that you would probably never even imagine. The person they were before this trip is not at all who they are now. These kids' have been broken, wrecked, and transformed by what they have seen. Children have been healed. A man has been awakened from a coma. A girl who was not able to walk is now walking. People here have been waiting for someone to tell them about Jesus and the boldness these kids' have stepped into has...

Attention Parents and Supporters!

May 2, 2011. Early this morning news broke that US officials announced that Osama Bin Laden was killed late last night in Pakistan. The US State Department issued a worldwide travel advisory for all US citizens abroad, anticipating the possibility of retaliatory violence by Bin Laden sympathizers.

So my dad has always wanted to name something George- whether the car, one of our cats, but never has gotten the chance. You see there is me, my mom, and my sister, and let's just say he never had a chance J So dad this blog is for you!!! One of our neighbor's here has 4 kittens and they are the cutest thing ever- or so I thought until the other day.
