Rach & I lead Bridge Families in Kansas City where we support families that are stepping in the gap for children that often don't have a voice.  We rely on our experience and training over 15 years of foster parenting and adoption.  We both believe that every child belongs in a family that not only provides the basic needs, but supports the child to become all their potential holds.  This often looks like phone calls in the wee hours with parents in crisis.  Sometime this opening our home to host those in between housing.  Assisting with getting re-established and re-launching into their own plan.  Whether that is an apartment or dorm going on with further education.  This has included provision of meals, clothes, and lodging in the form extended stay hotel rooms for a week or two until a plan can be established.

  In late February 2022 Rachel & I were asked to consider positions as Executive Directors with Mike Eden Ministries. This is an established Children's home in Kenya started by Mike & Sylvia Eden.  The Eden's God breathed vision has led to 100's of Kenyan's being supported and having seen the Eden's love for Christ walked out.  In March we accepted the new created Executive Director roles which Rachel and I share together. Along with the board we made this public at the fundraiser in May, you can see that video by clicking the link here:  Board Announcement    We are excited to continue to serve alongside the board and team in Kenya. Pray for us to see the Lord's vision for the children in the home and the staff that has and is serving the needs of those in the home.   Look forward to sharing more in the coming months.
