The Joy of the LORD is my strength!
Hello to all of you who are walking this journey with us! I should say goodmorning because while I am writing this you are all still in bed! We have been many days without cell phones or the internet but now we are in a location where we can send and receive emails but still can not make phone calls. There have been many adventures since we have last communicated with you. I would like to share them all with you but for now time is limited. We are currently staying with a family that serves the poor in the poorest part of the country. After driving 15 hours to the northen part of the country we arrived just before the sun went down. After a quick meal the father did not hesitate to take us immediately to visit the poor. Each person was greeted with kisses, food and a song. But the thing that impressed me the most was the joy. Each house we visited seemed darker and more depressing than the one before. With each story my heart broke but in the middle of it all was this JOYFUL man spreding the love of Jesus with a smile and a song. With each bag of food hope and with each visit life. May your day be filled with this kind of joy even if you are suffering. Thank you for joining us on this journey. It does help to know who is joing us by signing up as a follower. We will try and get more specific later. God bless you and keep praying for us! Check this later this evening your time for updates!

We Have Arrived! Hallelujah!
After spending three days in a country where we were supposed to be for only three hours, we finally arrived at our destination. God is always willing to show Himself as a powerful amazing God...He has not dissapointed us. I believe that He LOVES to maticulously orchestrate things in a way that it blows our socks off! We came to this beautiful place to live among beautiful people to be blown away by a beautiful Saviour. Hang with us on this journey and I guarantee you will need to hold onto your socks too!

The Adventure Has Begun
Myself and two brave companions, Jessica and Holly, have arrived safely in Europe. For the next three weeks we will be visiting orphans and widows in at least two countries. We will not be sharing our location in order to protect the people and children we will be working with. However, we will be sharing as much details as possible about thier lives and our encounters with them so that you can join us on this incredible journey. We want to share our experiences with you so that you can laugh with us, cry with us, dream big dreams with us and pray with us! We don't just believe, we know that prayer changes things!
Consider following our blog. It is really easy to do and it is a huge encouragement for us to see the people who are joining us! We would love for you to tell your family and friends about us and more importantly about the 143 million lost, abandoned and dying children that need of us!
One final thought for tonight : dare to dream, dare to hope, dare to believe, dare to love!
