We were so blessed to have been asked to Host 2 beautiful boys from the Children Of The World Choir. Gideon is 9 years old and is from Uganda and Christian is 10 and is from the Philippines. What makes these boys (and the 13 other children in the choir) so special is that they are orphans, and many of them have suffered in ways that we could never imagine but yet, their hearts are filled with Jesus and they LOVE unconditionally. In the 3 days that they stayed with us, our house was amazingly blessed and our hearts were touched in ways that we never knew was possible. The choir is touring for 10 months to bring awareness to all of us of the HUGE need for clean and safe water in other countries. Gideon and Christian both have American sponsors (otherwise, I think we would have adopted them) who help provide them with food, water, clothing and education. Please visit worldhelp.net to see how this organization is making a difference...one child at a time.
Sunday was one of the hardest days ever when we had to say goodbye to these boys. However, I truly believe that although Gideon and Christian's families could not care for them, there are NO orphans of God!
Our last day with the boys! We will never forget their sweet voices calling us "Auntie" and "Uncle" They both have the greatest smiles and we just love Gideon's pearly whites!

Our boys!
They LOVED trunk-or-treating at Joy! Gideon had never been trick-or-treating before.
Their first night with us at Carson's football game. They love sports!
