Drawn From Water

My gut ached as I watched this video. My heart stirred and the tears flowed. Such an incredible ministry. I would take my little family and leave tomorrow to be there if the Lord willed.
I'm amazed at what God has done in such a short time with this orphanage, these sweet babies. Looking at Silas I'm reminded daily of just how much we MUST act. I don't think everyone needs to adopt but do something. David and I are dedicated to encouraging action and raising awareness on orphan care and adoption. Please take the four minutes to watch this video. This is reality. Not just in Ethiopia.

Incredible! Was just so moved by the way they responded so quickly- I would go right there with you if the Lord so ok! :)

I found your blog from Bethany's. My sister adopted a son from Ethiopia, so it's a country close to our hearts. I'm praying that one day we too can adopt a child from there. I'm going to post this on our blog. Thanks for sharing.

Your family is beautiful, by the way.
