2014 - what a great year, filled with so many blessings when it comes to the ministry of child sponsorship. Our family of sponsored children changed a little bit over the year, saying goodbye to a few loved ones and welcoming new faces and stories into our lives. So many letters were exchanged and it's always a joy to be able to communicate with one another. Here are some highlights from my year....
