Bio
Gary and I are involved with the Orphan Care Ministry at Saddleback Church. Due to the church's close relationship with Rwanda, the government has asked us to help empty all orphanages within their country by the end of 2014. Rwanda children are among the most vulnerable in the world. One out of 8 people living in Rwanda have been left orphaned or vulnerable due to the genocide, abject poverty and other factors including the loss of parents through HIV/AIDS. Most of the orphans are without hope for a permanent, loving family.
So in August, Gary and I will be leading a team to Rwanda for 2 weeks to help find and train local, loving, church families to place all these precious children leaving the orphanage. We are so excited and proud to be part of this historical event, and hopefully it can be a model for other countries in the future!!
