Happy Life 2018

Texas Team 2018

Another awesome trip to Happy Life!

I'm so grateful for the opportunity God provided to go love on all the precious children at Happy Life Children's Home once again. It was an extra special blessing serving with such an amazing team of women! 

The highlight of this trip was reuniting with some of my special little sweethearts from previous years and seeing them all healthy, happy, and full of smiles!

Gideon - 4 yrs old

Kenneth - 2 yrs old


John Mark - 1 yr old

...and sweet little Cindy - 1 yr old

There were 15 precious babies in the nursery  
for us help take care of and love on this year!




AND lots of adorable toddlers too!!





Another highlight was our trip to Juja Farm to visit the school children and being there for the dedication of their 
new donated school bus.

I'm so thankful for God's protection and no serious injuries after a fall and bump to my head, and an unexpected field trip to the hospital for a CAT scan on our 2nd day in Africa. Scan results were clear and we were in and out of the hospital in less than 30 minutes, with a total bill of only $61...God is Good!

The wonderful staff at Happy Life take such loving care of all the orphaned children in their care and it's always such a privilege to come and serve alongside them!

Baby Levi's mother gave him up for adoption and he was brought to Happy Life so they could care for him, and help him find a forever home.

Thanks to everyone who partnered with me to help 
make this trip possible!
