"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the power and the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen." Ephesians 3:20
About Me
- Amy B.
- I am a daughter, mother, sister, auntie, and friend, but most importantly, I am a believer in the One who is able to do more than we could ever dare to ask, dream, hope, or imagine.
Amelia AiChun - Age 8
Amelia was adopted at age 2 from The People's Republic of China. She is in 2nd grade this year. She loves to do ballet, take care of the little girls, and write on anything and everything. She is my "little old lady" - she frets and fusses and fears. Amelia was born with a heart defect that God healed and with vision challenges that she is overcoming. Amelia is the child who made me a mother, the one who opened my eyes and my heart to children in need around the world. Love that Chunster!

Anna XiaoChun - Age 5
Anna Joy XiaoChun was adopted from Anyang, Henan, China. She joined our family just a few weeks shy of her 5th birthday. She is deaf and is learning to sign. She loves to play outside - she would swing all day long if we would let her! She is spunky and exuberant and always on the go. We can't wait to see what special things God has in store for her. He broke the mold when He made Anna. She's the go-go girl, and we love her!

In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 29:17-19
