An Orphan's Wish

I have talked about An Orphan's Wish before when we were in China and shortly home. An Orphan's Wish is the group that helped raised funds for Joy to have her surgeries in China and has helped us talk with Joy over Skype since coming home. They have people in Guilin that are literally the hands and feet of Jesus as they care for orphaned children. The States side of An Orphan's Wish is doing an event called 100 Sponsors in 100 Days. The little boy to the right is the precious little one that our family is blessed to sponsor. We are hoping he will find his forever family soon! If you are interested in being his family please contact us at adinn@comcast.net. He sounds like such a sweet little guy and is our Joshie's age.

The cool thing for us is that An Orphan's Wish will have a drawing at the end of the 100 days. Whoever of their volunteers gets their name pulled out of hat gets to go to Guilin, China and see those there in action and love on the precious children!! If you do sponsor a child from hearing from us just put our names in the message box after you sponsor a child and we'll get our names, (Clayton and Angie Dinn) in that hat and have a greater chance of getting to go to Guilin and love on those babies! Cool huh?

So if you are led to sponsor one of these precious kiddos first of all know that your money does go toward a worthwhile cause. It is $35 a month and you receive great updates on your sponsored child. 98% of all funds goes directly to the kids. When you think about how $35 is just one meal at Chili's or Applebee's (or McDonald's for us) it really puts it into perspective. We have been priviledged to get to know those that run An Orphan's Wish in China and they are amazing, God-loving people. Similar to here the government only provides for the bare necessities for orphaned children. So it is our job to help care for orpans no matter where they are born. That they can grow up to know the love of Jesus through people like you and I. Go to http://www.anorphanswish.org/ and see the kids in Guilin in need of sponsors!
