Bringing hope, changing children's lives:
Making a difference in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children,
one child at a time, community by community.

Dear Friends of Graceworks,

The first year of this new decade is already well underway. Soon it will be Easter, Spring Break, Tax Day, and before we know it, SUMMER!

With all the “busyness” of our lives, time passes rapidly and often times, we have to remind ourselves to pause and take note with gratitude of all the amazing things happening all around us. For me personally, I have had quite a few of those moments lately, for instance, I finally graduated from my Doctoral studies in the fall of last year, a journey that took six long years! Then, at the beginning of this year, my oldest son got married to a beautiful young lady from China, adding to our already international family. These are awesome things in and of themselves, but I thank God even more for His favor, for good health and for being surrounded by people who love me and care about me. We should never take these things for granted.

As far as the Graceworks family is concerned, we also have a lot to celebrate. Last September, we launched our Child Sponsorship Program and are pleased to announce that we already have 23 children sponsored! Thank you so much to those of you who have sponsored a child(ren), making it possible for them to get their needs met in a more consistent way. Furthermore, due to your generous support, we are currently in the process of helping build a dormitory shelter for those orphaned children in the rural community of Rwika, Kenya served by Graceworks who are without a home or stable caregivers.
