Love the least of these... Part 1



This journey will probably be told in several parts, as it is a long story with so many components, so part 1 comes to you tonight. Several years ago, My sister and Brother-in-law felt the call to bring home a sweet little girl and make her a part of their family. This beautiful child came home and immediately it felt like she had always been a part of the family. I will never forget the first time I met her and the instant love that was there.

I had also recently had my own adoption take place (more to come on that later) and had such a desire to give back to God what he had gifted their family with. And so I went on my first mission trip to Bolivia to serve at an orphanage there. And, I subsequently made four more trips. I fell in love with the little ones of the world and knew that God was going to use that in my own family someday.

2006 came and God had a different plan for me… China was calling my name. I went to China to teach at a college, working with High School Students who had not passed the college entrance exam. I also had the opportunity to work in some orphanages and with the local people. God used China in might ways in my life. What I thought I was going for, was certainly not what He had intended. By the burden that I felt for the unwanted little ones of the world continued to burn.More to come..... Stay tuned, Jen
