Since then I have taken two more trips to the same children's home in Africa. And every visit leads to my heart being knit tighter to these two children.

The boy is 13 years old and has a deep love for our son Grayson. He already acts like an older brother and writes letters to Grayson telling him about who he is, asking what Grayson likes, and encouraging him to follow Christ! He also has an eye for photography. This is a gift I discovered on my first trip. He has an artistic eye and I cannot wait to see how it might grow given the chance. When he grows up he wants to be a lawyer.

The girl is 12 years old. She has is very quiet and shy which is something that drew me to her. On my first trip she rarely smiled. But on my last visit she couldn't stop smiling. She has opened up before me and is becoming more outgoing the more she knows she is loved. She loves to sing and around the home is known as my "little me".

During my time in Africa these two rarely leave my side. There is a special bond between a mother and her child and this is the same bond that Josh and I have with these kids.

Our stories weave together in a unique way and God has been building and guiding this journey. The finances are more than I can comprehend but I know that God is asking us to follow His calling in faith. So above all we ask for your prayers as we step into this journey to bring home our kids!

Our goal is $50,000 in 30 Days. This sounds quite impossible, but with your help in sharing our story, if we can get 2,000 people would commit to a one time gift of $25 we can bring home our kids! This would be a sacrifice of one meal out to give two children a permanent home in a safe and loving family. Please share our story with everyone you know who would be willing to give just $25. Will you join us?
