Yesterday we went to church in Tanzania. No, let me rephase that….we went to CHUUUUUURCH! This folks know how to celebrate God! Here’s a brief video of what we experienced: Church in Tanzania We also had to say goodbye to Theresia. That broke my heart,...
She’s a beautiful woman now. When we began sponsoring her, we believed in her possibility and we hoped for her future. Today hope and a future are reality. Theresia, now 22, is changing her world. Where do I even begin to share about all that has transpired...
