  • Easter Baptisms!

    Last Sunday five kids from my home, a dorm mom, and a few kids from the community were baptized at the church that is inside our children's home.  I usually attend an English speaking church in another part of Seoul, but I left early to be able to cheer my kids on.  After the baptisms the pastors invited up family members or close ones to hug and bless the kids.  I was blessed to be able to go up and hold a couple of my boys and bless them.  I sense for most of them their faith is has yet to fully bloom, but I'm blessed that they are interested and are seeking God.  Enjoy the pics!
