My ministry, Childcare Worldwide was on KGNW AM 820 in Seattle this week talking about the need for clean water in Kenya. What a great opportunity! I was so happy to get the word out about CCW to the Seattle market. That kind of exposure is invaluable. Michelle...

I recently made a visit to our Childcare Worldwide office in Peru. What an amazing trip! I was blessed by the kids we serve in Lima. It was yet another great reminder of the wonderful work I get to do as president of this ministry. Our work in Peru is unique in that...

What a blessing it was to visit with Childcare Worldwide staff and sponsored children in Sri Lanka and Thailand! It’s funny how expectations change when we experience something new. This was my first visit to Sri Lanka, and I thought I knew what I was going to...

Uganda is really growing on me! It’s so much different than Kenya. It’s really green everywhere, with leafy trees and dense jungle. Oh, and it’s humid too, something I’m not a big fan of. Nonetheless, the country really is beautiful, and its people are very welcoming....

I’m in Uganda! I’ve spent the last two days visiting CCW staff at our office in Entebbe, Uganda. The first thing I noticed about this place is how green and lush it is. It is certainly less dry than Kenya. It’s also humid, something that was also missing in Kenya....

Wow. What a day. I was wondering when it would happen. It happened today. God melted my heart for these kids. It’s like a connection was made. I was humbled. Brought low. He showed me how blessed I am. I still have more than a week left in Africa, but if I had...

I’m here! After my airline delays, and rerouted flights, I finally made it to Kenya. I was picked up by my country director in Nairobi and taken to a hotel, where I promptly got into bed and slept for 7 hours. Not bad given the jet lag. This morning (Saturday, Feb 9),...
