When I Wait, You Strengthen my Heart – Psalm 27:14
Just wanted to write today and fill you in on our adoption progress. The boys’ passports have been applied for!! I’m so happy about this I can hardly stand it. Today, they went into the office to get finger-printed. This is getting so real. And to be honest, I’m having a hard time concentrating. I’m a little jittery (okay… probably doesn’t help that I’m on my third cup of coffee), my mind is racing about all that I need to do.

What Makes a World Changer?
“Be the change.”
“Make good things happen.”
“One person can do so much.”
“She believed she could so she did…”
“You have the power to change the world.”
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
“If you can’t feed one hundred, if you can’t feed fifty, if you can’t feed ten, FEED ONE.”

Charles Seraphin, the team leader for the program, wanted to make sure to thank you all, for not only helping, but for entirely making this Christmas program possible. Because of YOU, who made cash donations or who purchased One Mission products, choosing 40% of your purchase to go towards ‘Christmas for Haiti’, hundreds of Haitian people were able to learn about the birth of Jesus, eat [...]
