]]> Comment on We’ve Been Adopted by Paula Andrews http://www.africachristian.org/blog/2012/01/16/weve-been-adopted/#comment-181 Paula Andrews Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:57:37 +0000 http://www.africachristian.org/?p=1326#comment-181 Colleen, that verse in Luke about leaving is what God gave Steve on a plane over 35 years ago when he left Memphis and family after High School-to never return to live. God gave beyond what Steve could imagine in new family members. When he recalls the names of people God brought into his life as a fulfillment of that verse he can't get through the list without tears. God is still fulfilling that promise for Steve. He spent this week with 50 young Pokot pastors and fell in love with them and wanted to pack them up to come work with him at Kensington. Tomorrow he's getting on a plane to see you, and God will fulfill his promise in S Africa. Steve will scoop you up as another of his daughters. We love you and are so blessed by your life.

Love your updates and love the stories of all the men and women God used.... in their weakness. I remember a Major Thomas quote "any old bush will do."
