Thank you for visiting my blog! As you may know, I am going to Luoyang, China to visit Maria's Big House of Hope in August 2009 to care for orphans. This blog will reflect my journey through my travel to China and beyond - wherever God calls me. Please join me in caring God's children and orphans worldwide!

I got to hold this little girl the first night that she came in. Her legs were twitching and she looked hungry, unloved, and scared. Look at what a difference being at Maria's Big House of Hope made! http://blog.showhope.org/?p=792

Why China?
China has over 15 million orphans. Many are girls and some boys with special needs that have been abandoned. The children are then placed in orphanages with only a small hope of ever having a family. For more information visit: http://www.achildsdesire.org/chinaadopt.htm
James 1:27
"Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us."

Psalm 68:5-6
"Father to the fatherless, defender of the widows, this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy."
