My Little Sister in Christ

My family and I just sponsered a little girl all the way from China. Harmony Outreach is the orphanage in China where we sponsered her. Here is a picture of the girl we sponsered...

Her name is Lisa, but her origanal Chinese name is Xin Xiaoling. Once you sponser a child the company sends you all of their information and the even send you a handmade doll made by the chinese people. Here is a picture of that...
It is kinda like she is a part of our family now because her picture is right next to our portrait.
At the Harmony House they made a little bio about her. This is it.

"Lisa is full of life and energy and is always engaged in some activity and fond of smiling. Her growth is good and her body is strong. She is smart and understands many of the nanny’s words already. Sometimes she is stubborn. She likes playing with toys, with other children, climbing, and taking walks. She isn’t choosy about food and eats very well. She likes to put her finger in her month when she is sleeping. She arrived in our care on November 28, 2008 from Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang province in the extreme West of China. She is named after Lisa Bentley. "
There are still losts of children that need to be sponsered. You can even sponser children from other places like the Kaifeng Deaf School.
These are the children that go there. Harmony House is partners with this school.
John Bently offical started the program Harmony House you can read all about it at the website http://www.harmonyoutreach.org/.

One of my Favorite Verses

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

1 Timothy 4:11-13
