The Power of Following God’s Plan, Not Mine

Community-to-Community, Personal Impact / September 13, 2016 April 16, 2020

If I would have pushed my agenda then God would not have been able to use me in the same way to bless and speak encouragement to the many children I was blessed to serve.

Powerful Partnerships

Community-to-Community, Guatemala, Personal Impact / September 6, 2016 April 16, 2020

Colegio de Israel is an amazing school spreading the love for education and Jesus throughout Tecpan, Guatemala. Our church, 1910 Church, in Boerne, Texas, is privileged to partner with them in making this possible for any child regardless of economic status.

Raising Leaders In Challenging Circumstances

Community-to-Community, Stories of Hope / August 30, 2016 January 29, 2020

In a culture where fathers are often absent and male role models are few, it is such an encouragement to see the men who are stepping up as leaders for their families and serving their communities.

A Day in the Life of the HopeChest Uganda Staff

Community-to-Community, Uganda / August 23, 2016 January 29, 2020

I may be a little biased towards Children’s HopeChest in Uganda, but these people get the message and purpose of Children’s HopeChest. They’re not simply maintaining the HopeChest model, they’re going above and beyond to develop and create new sustainable programs that will make an impact in these communities for a lifetime.

How to Respond When Bad Things Happen

Ethiopia, Personal Impact / August 16, 2016 January 29, 2020

As they’ve developed their community’s resources, God has healed their material poverty. In both communities we have empowered one another to pull ourselves out of our poverty.

Known, Seeing God’s Abundant Blessings

Community-to-Community, Personal Impact / August 9, 2016 January 29, 2020

The giant smiles and enthusiastic embraces signified so much more than people happy to see one another; it was evidence of the power of relationship, investments of the heart made over the last several years.

I Wasn’t the Solution

Community-to-Community, Ethiopia / July 26, 2016 January 29, 2020

I certainly was not prepared to be pursued as a solution to their desperation, mostly because I knew I wasn’t the solution. I was grossly uncomfortable with the thought that anyone might think I actually was.

She No Longer Felt Alone

Community-to-Community, Ethiopia, Personal Impact / July 19, 2016 April 16, 2020

The story she shared with us was no light matter; we were all in tears. Abneezer’s mother and sister are ill, and they cannot afford the necessary medical care, nor is there easy access to it.

The Power of Writing to Your Sponsored Child

Personal Impact, Sponsorship / July 12, 2016 January 29, 2020

I’ll admit I’m not the best at the writing. It has been hard to get my family in a good habit of writing to our sponsored kids on a regular basis.

We Hold On to Hope

Personal Impact, Uganda / July 5, 2016 January 29, 2020

Hope is why we, as God’s people, serve. It’s why we, at Children’s HopeChest, go. Not to meet physical needs and leave, never to return again. We go to build relationship.
