"Bless You and Keep You" Africa shirts are here! Our goal is to sell enough of these to offset part of the fees for our African adoption. The cost is $20 plus shipping (shipping is $3 for one and $5 for 2). You can use the paypal button on the site, or mail a check. If you use paypal, please leave a note with the donation stating sizes needed. All adult sizes available. Thanks so much for helping bring our child home!

BIG NEWS!!!!
It is with great excitement that we would like to announce that baby #2 is coming soon(ish)! After seeking God’s plan for our family, He has opened a door to adopt from Africa! We will be pursing an adoption in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A great friend of ours, Tresor Yenyi, runs an organization called Mwangaza International (http://www.mwangazaint.com). They partner with orphanages in the DRC to bring hope and healing to those affected by the tragedies going on there. We will begin the Africa portion of the adoption in January and we are already done with the US side of things (homestudy, i600a, fingerprinting). God is so good and we can’t wait to see what exciting things he has for our family! We can also use your help along the way. Please continue to pray that God will bless us with a smooth and quick process as we bring our baby home. Also, be looking for Bless You and Keep You shirts coming sometime next week. Thanks for all your support as we continue on this amazing path called adoption!

First Steps
Evan and I got to witness her first steps together! This is only the beginning... So many more firsts ahead of us, but this one was so precious to witness. She walked to her puppy dog , the one we sent in a care package to Taiwan. I love our girl from her nose to her toes.

St. Vincent Preschool Project
My dear friend Maddie Keller and her husband EK have moved to St. Vincent to do ministry with WISE, and the Wurdemans. Maddie is teaching at a preschool to connect with the community for Christ.
The WISE PREPATORY PRESCHOOL would love to have you join and partner alongside this great ministry.
Brice and Amanda Wurdeman moved to St. Vincent with their three children in December 2011. They are missionaries on the island and the directors at Windward Islands School of Evangelism.
They have such great love and hearts for others.
They have now started a preschool to reach more for Jesus.
Despite living the island life, some of these children come from poor homes. And some of these homes are without electricity and running water.
Your $25 monthly sponsorship, your love, and your prayers will help with many things each day including:
*Help pay a helper teacher. She is from St. Vincent and this is her very first job. It helps provide for her family.
*Help children receive education and to be able to learn and play with other children their age in a safe and loving environment.
*Help children hear a Bible story and hear about Jesus’s great love for them.
*Help feed a snack to each child.
*Help pay for their school uniforms.
*Help pay for the fans and lights in the classroom.
Contact Me or Janna Conklin for more information.
