When Celebration and Sadness Collide
As many of you know, Chris and I are welcoming a new bundle of joy into our family very soon. We are so excited, and the kids are overjoyed to have a little brother! We have had so many fun conversations about what it will be like to have a baby around for them. They […]
Daily Miracles
“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” – C.S. Lewis Most days, by the time we get the kids to bed around 8 in the evening, I am absolutely dragging. We wake up at […]
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 […]
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. […]
The Light of the World

Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering […]
Building Community
Reflecting back on this last week, I’m realizing just how much God cares about the details. I can see just how much He loves each and every one of us and works out an amazingly intricate plan to bring us closer to Him and make us more like Him. This week, the community of Santiago […]
Restoring our Souls
NOTE: The government of Honduras frowns upon American non-profits using the images and names of children living as orphans or in foster situations. As a result, we have chosen to use nicknames or initials to identify the beautiful little people living at our children’s home! “Non-Christians seem to think that the Incarnation implies some particular […]
Where We Lack, He Provides
Tomorrow marks one year since Chris and I moved to Honduras. In some ways, I can’t believe it has already been a year. In other ways, it has felt so much longer. Reflecting back, I am so amazed at all that God has done in and through us. I could go on and on about all […]
