Over the past several years I have had amazing opportunities
to serve God throughout the world. God has led me on so many adventures both
internationally and domestically and has really ignited several passions in my
heart. As many of you know, once I set foot in China I immediately fell in love
with it, and my heart was continually captured through my experiences
there. While teaching and serving at
orphanages in Mexico, South Africa, Swaziland, and China I fell in love with
the children and found it to be such a privilege to care for those the world
has forgotten.
Those experiences and passions have led me to my next
journey, serving at New Day Foster Home outside of Beijing, China. New Day
truly serves the least of these. Their core mission is to provide life-saving
surgeries and a loving home to orphans with special needs. They believe that
every child deserves a healthy start and to know the love of family. I am so
excited to partner with them to continue to make this a reality for the
children they provide a home for.
While at New Day I will specifically be partnering with the
preschool program. At the age of 2 all of the children who are medically able
attend a bilingual preschool during the week. Using my special education
background I will be able to add new dimensions and try new things as well as
working with the children one on one performing evaluations and providing extra
support and instruction. This makes me so excited as it really encompasses so
many of my passions!
I hope to leave by the end of October. In order for this to happen I will need to raise start up and monthly support and obtain a visa from China. Your prayers in these endeavors are so appreciated!
As things progress I will be posting more ways that you can be involved, but the first way is through t shirt! I will be selling shirts to help with my start up and visa costs.
