Long Overdue Update!

It's been a long time since we've updated this site. But rest assured, the Jingmen foster care program is alive and well! We've had the joy of watching many of the children be adopted, and the joy of seeing new children moved into foster homes. There are currently 6 children in the Grace and Hope Jingmen program and I'm happy to say that they are all currently sponsored!

My own sponsored child is soon to be adopted. Her family is awaiting the final travel approval and is expected to travel in a few short weeks! It warms my heart to see her come full circle, from an orphan, to a child living in a foster home, to finally going home to her forever family. Its been a long wait for her and I know her family cannot wait to finally meet her in person!

Although we do not have any current Jingmen children needing sponsorship, the need for donations always continues. A few of the Jingmen children are being sponsored for schooling and I believe their funds will run out in the not so distant future. There is also a continued need for donations to cover various needs that come up throughout the year at Jingmen. If you would like to donate specifically to the Jingmen foster care program, you can do this by going to the Grace and Hope website at www.grace-hope.org Click on "how to help" at the upper left hand corner and then you can donate into the general foster care fund. Be sure to specify it is specifically for the Jingmen program! Every dollar counts. If several family were to give even just $5.00 it would cover schooling for the kids! Please consider what you might be able to do to help the lives of the children at Jingmen.

We look forward to what is in store for the program in the upcoming months! It is a real joy to watch new children have a chance at a family. Your support is greatly appreciated!
