Get the feedAdoption: The Young Family
Friday, Oct 01st 2010
Four years ago, our lives were very different. My husband and I had two little ones—a 1 and 2 year old. If you would have asked me then, I would have quickly and happily told you we were done. I remember feeling like our plates were full—and we had little time or resources to invest in anything outside of our family. And that is when God really rocked our worlds, opened our eyes and showed us that really—we were just getting started.
That same year, we met Kevin Jones—a dear friend who attends our church here in Roswell, Georgia. He shared with us a God story…one where he had connected with an African pastor who years after they met died of tuberculosis. Kevin started sending his widow money so she and her children could survive; only later, Kevin learned the widow, Kunda, was doing much more with the money he was sending over. Little did he know how the little thing God laid on his heart to do was impacting an entire village…
Kunda was taking the money she was receiving and with it renting out mud church buildings and paying teachers to teach the orphans in the compound. After becoming a widow herself, God gave her a vision to build a school where orphans could come for free and widows could come to learn a skill to help them provide for their families. When Kevin heard about this, he bought a ticket—jumped on a plane—and headed to Ndola, Zambia to see for himself what was happening.
Not just a handful of orphans were showing up every day—but HUNDREDS. Their needs were great as they were starving, on their own and sickness was rampant from malnourishment and malaria. Compelled to tell their story and do more, we met Kevin during that year where we felt our plates were full—but when we heard about hundreds of orphans that needed others to join them, our problems and full plate seemed to quickly fade away. Our hearts were broken and we joined Wiphan Care Ministries before we had visited ourselves—it was obvious that we were in the midst of a miraculous work and this—we could make room for. Our hearts had no other choice!
Four months later, we boarded a plane and fell in love with 450 orphans who were showing up every day for a free education. We came home with hearts consumed with helping meet their needs and letting our voice speak for them. One by one—God raised up other family’s to join us…each probably feeling at first much like we did in the beginning…like their plates were full…but little did they know that their hearts were about to be fuller.
Almost 4 years later, Wiphan Care Ministries now has two schools. The children now meet in buildings built and refinished by Wiphan Care. 450 children are still in the program and 150 widows attend the two year program for skills training. On top of a Christian education, the children receive a meal a day, care from our school nurse, a uniform and shoes. Mission Trips go over about four times a year, and we are following James 1:27 in visiting and serving both orphans and widows.
And almost 4 years later for our family…our plate is still full—but most importantly our hearts are fuller than they have ever been. We have four children—one whom we recently brought home from Ethiopia—and 450 precious children across the world. How thankful I am that we slowed down that Sunday to hear Kevin’s story, that we were open to leaving our comfort zones and that through our love of orphans God has now even grown our family. Our lives have been changed and so have our hearts—and there’s plenty of room for other families to join us.

Praise God. His plan is always so much bigger than we could ever imagine. We recently helped sew some "Pad kits" with sanitary supplies for the girls at Wiphan. We are adopting through YWAM Ethiopia Ministry, and while we were in ET last week we took a few kits to give to them. They have since decided to teach their women how to sew them (which gives them a skill), and they are going to give the kits to the school girls who live in the dumps of southern ET, where YWAM has another ministry. God IS GOOD! Be blessed!

What an amazing story! We have one sweet girl of our own from Ethiopia, but there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about the myriad other children we saw while we were there who had desperate physical needs on top of the need to hear about the ONE who loves them more than they could imagine. Thank you for sharing the ministry-it makes me think about what more we can do.

We love Zambians and are encouraged by the work you're doing there to support widows and orphans. It's amazing to see God working in the Zambian church, raising up national believers to care for their neighbors in need. We Americans have much to learn from their generosity out of poverty.
