Well here he is...meet John Njoroge from Kenya. He is 7 years old and we have joyously sponsored this sweet boy from Compassion International.
We are so excited to have a boy in the family, the boy we never got! :) Ryan and I have been wanting to sponsor a child from Compassion International for awhile. So, we finally just put our words into action and this Sunday when our church had booths out, we let the girls pick a child. Honestly, I swore the girls would migrate to a girl but they didn't...they were drawn to the smaller boys. It was awesome to let them take some ownership and realize how important sponsoring a child in a far away country really is. We explained to the girls that they can write letters and pray for John, we can send him things, he will write us letters. We also explained that giving money every month helps pay for him to receive an education, have health monitored to him, and most importantly hear the good news, the gospel, and how Jesus loves him so!
I am excited, I think it will be a cool experience for me and the girls. A chance to invest in a little boy's life, even if its in Kenya!
We can't wait to get to know John and help him be a part of a church-base program that helps offer him love, guidance, and personal attention.

So fun! I can't wait to sponsor a child once Clark is done with residency. I know y'all are going to love it, and I can't wait to hear what God does through y'all in his life!
Love the new blog design, too!
I always feel moved to do that, but never do...I need to. JOhn is one blessed boy to have you as part of his family. How cool if you could meet him someday!
Awesome!! It's so fun to sponsor a child together as a family "project" and pray for them together!! :)
