Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.” For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. –Luke 2:10-11 It’s kind of hard to believe that [...]

Kim turns 30!

Steve — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 03:18:58 +0000

Last Saturday (December 10th), Kim turned 30. We are grateful for all those who celebrated with her last weekend. As we do live about a thousand miles away from many family and friends, I (Steve) invited those who could not be with us to record a short video to wish Kim a happy birthday. This [...]

Baptism of Charis Gift Jeantet

Steve — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:17:45 +0000

One of the coolest parts of being a pastor is being able to baptize your own children. This past Sunday, November 6th, I baptized Charis into the covenant family. Sunday was, not coincidentally, Orphan Sunday (celebrated the first Sunday of November each year. Here is the video from the baptism. As you will see, she [...]

Six months ago we were just meeting you, wondering if you were our daughter. Today we celebrate your 2nd birthday. We love you, Charis!

Big J is 3!

Kim — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 03:55:08 +0000

I have not blogged since returning from Zambia. I’ll be honest, coming home was amazing, but the past few months have not been easy as we have adjusted to life with 2 toddlers and a huge gamut of issues that accompany adoption. But, my heart tonight is reflecting not on all the hardships, but on [...]

We’ll post pictures and more soon, but we wanted to let everyone know that Kim and Charis did arrive home safely on Sunday evening. Thank you to all for your support. Again, more coming soon.

Our God is an Awesome God!

I can’t believe I’m actually on the plane, with our beautiful little daughter sleeping beside me headed HOME! We’re going home! After 10 incredibly long weeks, 4 of them by ourselves, we are finally able to be together as a family of 4! I am sobbing tears of joy because we knew at this adoption [...]

Coming Home!

Steve — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 13:00:17 +0000

For all the ups and downs of this process, there is one thing we knew: God has a child for us. It’s hard to believe, but it’s now been two full months since we met Charis and were quickly convinced this beautiful little girl was God’s gift to our family. While the process has been [...]

Learning to Walk

Steve — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 13:24:00 +0000

When we met Charis, she could really do nothing. Couldn’t sit up. Couldn’t crawl. Couldn’t walk. In our loving care (okay, mostly Kim’s loving care), she is growing stronger and eager to walk. Here is a video of her learning to walk…
