Remain in God, our Source of life.
The school year just began for us, and many young people and children have moved from the Bordos, because of the danger that surrounds them. I cannot deny it, it is painful to see them leave because that child, or young man or adult represents a brother or a sister whom we have shared so […]
New Seasons Bring New Ideas
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 “You are my friends if you do what I […]
God Uses Bad Things for Good Things
I know this has been said a lot lately by Sparrow staffers, but wow! We really had an amazing year! Chris and I were just thinking back on last January. We started last year with an empty house. Our home officially opened on January 1st, and we were so anxious for the little ones that […]
Working Together
It is amazing to think that we just completed our first full calendar year (2016) in operation at the Sparrow Children’s Home. It was nearly two years ago (January 31, 2015) that we spent our first night on site here in Santiago, and to see how God has grown and used this ministry over the […]
God’s Blueprint
God is great and He is doing amazing things. Not just here in Honduras but I know back in the good ol’ U.S.A. as well. It seems like this would be a great time for me to sum up and celebrate what great things have happened in 2016. But I’m not going to do that. […]
The Mother of all Mothers
Nope, this post is not about my momma. HOWEVER she is, to me, the best mother in the world. And this post is most definitely not about me and my inept ability to love surrendered and abandoned children in Honduras. This post is not about Kate and her 8, or Saint and North’s mom. This […]
The Power of God
It is inspirational to see the personal and spiritual growth that is occurring in the lives of people living in the Bordos! In spite of the highs and lows, losses and injustices, which hurt more than imagined, God is faithful and His word comforts us. But every new program, lesson or opportunity given, would be […]
Demonstrating El Roi
Being able to spend time and disciple girls in the Bordos community and local children’s homes is such a blessing. Getting to build relationships with my girls on a personal level while teaching them God’s truth is something I love to do and is so rewarding. But I would be lying if I said it […]
A Year Later
Can you believe it?! Oh how things can change in just one year! Just one year ago, we decided to take a huge leap of faith. Just one year ago, we said our kids deserved better. Just one year ago, many of you know we took a huge step in our organization when we opened […]
Getting Out of Our Box
A few weeks ago, we hosted a Thursday night church service at the SMCH property with our local church, Iglesia Bautista Gosen. Our pastor, Melvin, asked Alishia to lead services that evening as we finished up a series on missions. She did a wonderful job that night relaying the words the Spirit had laid on her heart. […]
