| Introduction | In 2004 our family embarked on an incredible journey of faith together in service to orphans. It began at the Casa Hogar Orphanage in Acapulco, Mexico and has carried us all over the world now. It was a very memorable trip, to our children especially. In July 2008, we traveled to Cuzco, Peru to help with the start of the Josephine House Orphanage. In 2009 Skip enrolled at Covenant Seminary in Saint Louis, MO to obtain a degree in counseling to better equip us for service to orphans. In 2010, we were led to join the DR Congo bridge team at New City Fellowship. We traveled to Africa to aid in the care of over 150 orphans in Kinshasa, Congo and to also visit a project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that seeks to serve the needs of a large community of families with HIV/AIDS. In Jan 2011 Skip returned to Addis with a team of medical and counseling professionals and students to serve these same project beneficiaries. We are seeking wisdom about serving as a family, for 6-8 weeks in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe in the summer of 2012. We invite you to partner with us as we seek to care for orphans again. |
