A Profound Calling to Assist Orphan Children

Sister Mousumi experienced a profound calling to assist orphan children based on her attendance to one of our Great Commandment Workshops in her community in October. Mousumi was one of 104 ministry leaders that day who made a commitment to serve orphan children in their community. Her community in Asia is located in the 10/40 India where in this part of the world there is limited access to the Gospel. In addition, a large number of orphan children live in impoverished communities and remain underserved.

Christmas Blessing

Eighteen years ago, we were preparing to deploy our family to Juarez, Mexico, for our very first international mission. We were busy gathering gifts for 20 children that year along with some other supplies for an orphanage located there. It was an exciting time venturing into the unknown with only our faith to guide us!

While we might be larger as a group than eighteen years ago, we also have many commitments that didn’t exist then. It was a simpler time, but our faith continues to guide us into the unknown.
