Vacation Bible Camp 2009
Posted June 29th, 2009
Hola Amigos!
Just finished my 7th year doing five full-days of Vacation Bible Camp (VBC)… and it just keeps getting better and better.
When you look at ministry, this is what I love: Being with the kids.
We’re fortunate to be a good-sized, centrally located church, in a working-class community with a large population of working Mom’s and Dad’s. This means parent’s have a need that we’re committed to fill.
We Have Our Adoption Court Date!
Posted June 22nd, 2009
We have received our court date for our El Salvador adoption:
Thursday, 7/30/09
(Two days after my birthday! What a crazy-good present! Thank you God!)
There are still details to be worked out, including our travel itinerary… but here’s what I can tell you, as of today.
Did You Know?
Posted June 16th, 2009
Soon as I saw this video, I knew I had to share it.
It’s the second release of CatholicVote.org’s new national media campaign “Life: Imagine the Potential.”
It was rejected by NBC and CNN… which explains why you’ve probably never see it before.
Joy! We Have Received a Referral
Posted June 10th, 2009
We have received a referral! I’m so excited, I can hardly write.
We have been referred to a young Salvadoran boy, 7 years old.
(Truth be told, we’ve known of this referral since January but only now are sharing it after official paperwork approval.)
Let me tell you more, beginning with a story.
Beautiful Children of El Salvador
Posted June 4th, 2009
Found these wonderful photos of beautiful Salvadoran children (and other nationalities) which says they’re from the Orphanage of SOS Children’s Village in El Salvador.
I’m guessing the photos are from multiple SOS orphanages.

El Salvador: The Beginning of a New Era?
Posted June 1st, 2009
I ran across the article (below) on the new President and government coming into power in El Salvador this week. Thought you’d find it interesting.
While I have no idea on the political bias of The Monthly Review, reading between the lines gave me further insight as to the current plight of this beautiful country I have visited.
I read it thinking of the estimated 150,000 children who (in my opinion) have been trapped in an El Salvador adoption “system.”
