ONE LESS!!!

95 days ago, our ACT Missions team boarded a plane bound for China.  Such a mix of emotions!  So many unknowns!

In the middle of the night, as I tossed and turned, desperately trying to sleep while praying through the anxious butterflies in my stomach, Monday afternoon in China, our first Sweetheart met her Mama and Baba!

Engulfed in the loving arms of her forever family!  

A big brother waiting at home for his sister to come home!  

Ge-ge and Mei-mei!!!

It feels so SURREAL!!!  

Almost like I got to be in the delivery room watching a family born!  I got to spend time lost in this Princess's beautiful smile!  Then returned home to share stories photos of this little Enchantress, the Children's Welfare House that has been her home, and the nannies who have cared for her with her family while they waited for all the paperwork to be processed and approved so they could travel to bring her HOME!

More children are waiting…waiting for their forever families!

What is God calling you to do?  Is He whispering to your heart to grow your family through adoption or foster care?  Is He asking you to GO and Step Into Their Stories by joining an ACT Mission Trip and Becoming a Storyteller?  Are you an incredible intercessor, called to be a prayer warrior for families and mission teams?  Are you able to bless others financially in their calling to GO and adopt?

REJOICING with those who are rejoicing today!

ONE LESS!!!

How many more will go home in the weeks and months ahead?
