Miles of Hope "I Can Help One" Event is May 22

You may not feel called to adopt a child but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways you can show Christ's love to a child.

That's the message of the "I Can Help One" event 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 22, at Triad Baptist Church in Kernersville, NC. Organized by Deena and George Jackson as part of the "Miles of Hope" ministry they launched last November on National Orphan Sunday, the program will feature testimonies and information in the sanctuary and displays in the Activity Center by a host of agencies and ministries, including:

Caroline's Promise
ABBA Fund
Gobena Coffee
Children's Home Society
Christian Adoption Services
Lifesong
Post-Adoption Support Booth: Andy and Sharon DeRosa
I Can Pray for One - prayer sponsorship
I Can Write to One - letter-writing sponsorship
I Can Provide for One - financial sponsorship
Miles of Hope Booth - George and Deena Jackson
Lovelinks - foster care agency

"We really want to get as much information out there as we can," said Deena Jackson. "There are lots of people who want to help these kids but they don't know where to begin, how to get started or what to do. This event is designed to get ideas into their hands so that each one of us can be better equipped to 'help ONE.'

"We will have touching testimonies and information before breaking off to visit the many booths in the Activity Center where people can learn how they can be part of God's plan to help the orphan," she said. "We will then have a prayer vigil for orphans directly after the event in the sanctuary."

The Jacksons named the ministry after their daughter, Miley, who they adopted from Guatemala in 2008. Childcare will be available upon request. To reserve childcare or for more information, call the church office at (336) 996-7573 (336) 996-7573 . To volunteer for the event, contact Jackson at (336) 996-6202 (336) 996-6202 .

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany.   I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences.  First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school.  I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life.   It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person.  The experience I had was totally great. I got to know places thanks to them and they also showed me their love through letters (letters that I still have), gifts and financial aid. I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally.   And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

  Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently.  And we benefited from knowing Cesy!  For years she would translate for our special programs.  I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me.  She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women.  One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD.  Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you!  Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
