Why adopt outside of your race/ethnic group?

Our family went to Greenville, SC this weekend to participate in the Together for Adoption Conference. Saturday was a great day - hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones. I'm always amazed at how creative God is. He opens people's eyes to the orphan crisis and then He gives them the most creative ways to meet needs. I love the Body of Christ!

One of the speakers addressed the question that we've heard so many times...."Is it okay to adopt outside of your race/ethnic group?" We obviously think it's right - but I've never had a good answer beyond "that's what I think." The speaker made it so simple when he said, "God does it, so why shoudn't we?" God adopts us into His family - every tribe, race, ethnic group.

The focus of the conference was on OUR adoption by God. It got me thinking......how many of you have ever heard a sermon on OUR adoption?

Mission team member's "idea" + Facebook Fundraiser = Jobs in San Nicolas

  Our last team to Guatemala was in November of 2019.  That seems impossible but it's true.   The primary focus of the team was a pediatric medical clinic that was hugely successful.  However, that wasn't the only seed that was planted that week in the community of San Nicolas.   Wanda King has been going to Guatemala with Caroline's Promise for years.  We can always count on her to bring hand sanitizer, goodie bags that she and her sister make for everyone, and lots of love!  One of the things I love most about Wanda is that she is willing to step in and do anything that is asked of her.  A few weeks before this trip she asked if she could bring a set of hair cutting supplies.  I didn't know if there was a need, but I knew that Wanda felt strongly that she should bring them and so I said "of course!"  Little did we know the impact that one idea would make.   Wanda spent most of that week teaching our partner, Monica how to cut hair.  We quickly realized that
