Shepherd's Field Children's Village

Tim Baker and his family have been doing amazing orphan care work in China for two decades. This video shares some of the work at Shepherd's Village. I've been there at least four times and both of our girls have their hand prints on the Hands of Hope wall that you will see in the video. Thankful for the impact over the years in the lives of special needs orphans and the families that have adopted them.

Children's hospital in the Philippines

Everyone has been following Tim Tebow because of his public faith and because the Denver Broncos are winning their division over the Raiders and Chargers with Tebow as their QB. In his post game interview after a win over the Jets, he mentioned that even though he loves football, what is most important is his platform as an NFL player that allows him to help children and to build a hospital in the Philippines. He is only 24 years old and already has a desire to be generous and to live out James 1:27. It is great to see a young man who could be using his platform to build himself up, but instead lives out the Gospel for the world to see. Here is a short video about his partnership with CURE on the children's hospital in the Philippines.
