December 2010
What an amazing God! And an amazing year. I'm so blessed. Here's just a few highlights from the last month...
OJC fellowship (orphanjusticecenter.com): I just finished a 3 month intensive learning about the plight of the orphan in the US and in other countries. It was challenging, but incredibly rewarding! We even saw one 10 year old adopted boy accept Christ. Last week we took Happy Meals and cupcakes to 50 kids in a residential facility that can’t be placed in foster care (behavior, mental or physical health problems, etc.). They loved it!! They were so precious...they broke my heart. Above is Brittany and me making a gingerbread house together.
Prostitution Ministry (exoduscry.com): I love this outreach to women on the streets. I had the privilege of leading one prostitute, Meka, in a prayer of salvation on the street. Tonya’s doing well at Second Chance, the women’s transition house. She has her ups and downs, but is determined to stay clean. The Christmas party was so fun! Testimony after testimony of Christ delivering women from addiction, prostitution, and despair.
Mission Trip in KC: Five friends (including my sister) from First Baptist church from Elgin, IA, visited IHOP-KC one weekend. We went to Hope City to work with inner city kids and adults, served the Loux family with 9 adopted kids and helped spa & minister to some women at Second Chance.
Children’s Book: I just finished illustrating a children’s book about Ethan, Silas, and Sasha Loux’s adoption from the Ukraine. It will be published in January. I was so blessed working on it. Their father, Derek Loux, passed away last December 23rd, so it’s in honor of him and his vision for adoption. (www.louxfamilyblog.com)
