Category Archives: Orphan & Widow Care I’ve done pretty good about resting on Sundays—until today. BUT it was Mission Martketplace at church and the widows and orphans of Zambia needed to be represented:)!!! SO…Addie and I represented again this weekend… That was taken on an iPhone…so maybe you can still see it. Can you see what’s behind us??? CHILD SPONSORSHIPS!!! One […]  Ok…for those of you wanting a scoop from the Adopting for Life Conference…here goes my 2 cents. If you are a believer, you are called in some way to live a life of redemption for the glory of God. Our God is a redeeming God. He heals the sick. He fathers the fatherless. He forgives […] “Set The World On Fire” by Britt Nicole. =) Thanks for all the links and sharing your heart everyday. I listen to David Platt on my podcasts and think he is an amazing pastor sharing the word of God. Plus, my study this morning included Ruth! I love when we have those little coincidences! 😉 Congratulations on an awesome seminar and experiencing God’s redeeming love all around! awesome post…I put your shirt on my blog last night…love it, kj amen sista! I only got to listen to russell moore and david platt through live stream online and not the break out sessions but those two messages alone were awesome! :0) Beautiful post written from a beautiful heart! This tied in right with our sermon this week! We have been reading through Ruth! Thank you!  James 1:27 says “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” Sitting on the dirty, dry clay ground—my heart was full. Children fighting over my lap. Pouring into these precious children that […] Loved this post! What a totally different perspective to look at the widows in this way. How helpless they must feel. I have been so focused on orphans, I forgot, or really did not know about the widows. Thanks for enlightening me!:) It totally hit me for the first time. Your post made me completely sympathize with them. I want to buy a t-shirt. I will look on your site to find out how to do it! Hopefully we can catch up soon! 🙂 I loved this post A. You have such a way with words…and you are right…what IF…I can’t wait to see the amazing things that are going to happen in Zambia. WOW- my eye opener! Thank you!!! awesome post….I Lovvvvve it…i wore your shirt today to church..i got quite a few questions about it….I’ll be posting about it soon 🙂 kj I have to say, “wow,” too. This post have given me much to ponder…(and pray about). Thanks for all you’re doing! Yes, of course! No more needs to be written; you said it all quickly and correctly. Action. Supporting Wiphan – YAY! Deep hugs to you. I would love to talk to you about partnering my ministry with yours…women reaching women…perfect. Could you email me at frances@desertflowerministries.com? Thrive! Oddly enough, just this morning, my husband and I found ourselves sitting in some random parking lot talking about this very issue. This has been so heavy on our hearts lately. AND that was our decision this morning…we have no business adopting (I don’t mean that to sound harsh; it only expresses this strange feeling I’ve had in my gut since we started our adoption and I was told that we might be referred a baby who still has a parent) unless we’re also fighting to keep families together in the first place. We’re totally in… This very issue has been weighing heavily on my heart lately. I wrote a post about it, but wasn’t brave enough to publish it. Yours doesn’t sound harsh like mine does. 🙂 I would like to be a part of something like this…. Very inspiring post. And I love the “Hosanna” song. Wow. I have goosebumps reading this! Much to pray about…thank you! thank you for this post and these amazing pictures! […] So good. SPEAKING OF FOLLOWING CHRIST…many of you read my post earlier this week on the widow “What About Me?” And some of you responded. Wow. I got several emails from people asking to know more about Wiphan […]  In yesterday’s post, I was able to share what the Lord has been doing through Wiphan Care Ministries. One of the coolest thing about Wiphan to me is—is that we are a grassroots ministry…just 3 years old…but the Lord has blessed us greatly through other believers joining us. For the first couple of years, in […] I am starting my support of Wiphan with prayers,a blue tshirt, and spreading the world on my side of the USA!! =) Awesome! Must share on my blog, and I gotta have one of those blue shirts. It would be even more amazing to travel there someday. Thanks for giving us so much information on this ministry!

Thank you for sharing about this ministry. I am really hoping that we can get involved with you. This speaks very deeply to my heart’s desire to bless both the widow and the orphan and to keep kids with their families if at all possible. I am very excited to learn more and to see what we can do. It inspires me what you have accomplished in such a short time by simple obedience and faith! I am hoping to share this ministry with our church as well. LOVE the disclaimer! 😉 You’re too cute!  As I sit in my home this Christmas Day enjoying the sound of my children running around celebrating their new toys, time with family and full bellies, I want to remember our widows and orphans in Zambia…as well as all the orphans and widows of the world. How can we live differently in 2010 with […] |

I know I don’t have a big following but I still posted…even if just one person feels moved….yay! I’m praying sponsorship for these babes by the end of the week~He can make it happen!
Contest or no contest ~ a great post to nudge us to talk about this very real happening in our world. My post will be up soon. Praying for the calling of many.
Awesome stuff girlfriend!!! I don’t care if I win or not (even though that is an awesome shirt!), the children and widows are the important goal here! I’m going to post on my personal blog and our adoption advocacy blog (promoting sponsorship not adoption of course) 😉 and our facebook pages! 🙂 Go WIPHAN!! you rock girl! I can tell from personal experience and the girl we sponsor in Haiti, it’s magical to see what having a sponsor does for a child in need. It’s almost like being adopted for them. Their lives change from the possibilities given to them and it’s amazing to see!!!
I’m sharing on my blog! Like Ellie said, contest or no contest … I’m glad to do what I can to spread the word. Wiphan and our sponsor child have been heavy on my heart this weekend. I need to talk to you about some stuff soon, my friend!! 🙂
I’m off to our next homestudy interview, so I don’t have time right now…but I will when I get home. I agree…contest or no contest this is important! I’ll be back!
I’ve shared about you on facebook…gets the word out to more! I love that you care for the orphan…not “just” the precious children. Waiting on my shirt to arrive…I think it is the BEST advertising!
