My dear friends, their families and the babes from India,Uganda, Philippines and Brazil

So many of you have to hear me talk about my precious babes that sing in the Children of the World choir all over the US. I am posting a link of them singing at the Crystal Cathderal on the West Coast. Most of these Indian children live in the Gilgal children's home where we visited in the NE corner of India. They come to the US to raise awareness for the plight of the orphan and to promote sponsorship of these children. They have 3 teams that travel throughout the US over a 10 month span. If you are interested in seeing them you can go to the link in the sidebar and click on "view schedule" and see when they will be in your area next. If you have small children it is an awesome opportunity to show them how blessed they really are to have all of their needs met and a great way to teach about other cultures.

They are an absolute blessing to watch and to get to know.

Matthew 28:19 tells us to go into all the nations and tell them them about Jesus, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Child sponsorship is an excellent way to fulfill this commandment without having to board a plane. These children are introduced to the GOOD NEWS from an early age and will have access to education and shelter that would not be possible without an American family sponsoring them.

Now, I have manipulated my way to introducing our precious Tingneitling

We call her our "daughter in India" and have been sponsoring her for over two years. Through the COTW choir we were able to spend a great deal of time with her and have her spend the night in our home. She is a treasure and I am sure God had a perfect plan when he wove her into our lives. Ask anyone who met her...she is a jewel with a bright future. Her sister Tingneignak is here in the US right now touring with the Central team of children. She clung to my side while we were in India and was affectionately named "Nga-Nga" (Nya sound). I was later told by the children from Uganda, this means tomatoe in Ugandan. OOPs!

Happy Birthday! We were able to visit the children last year on November 26, which Ting and I happen to share as the day we were born. Isn't God good?

All of these ladies are touring in the US right now. Left to right: Elise and Nga-Nga (Central) and Deborah (West). This is Deborah's second tour in the US. It seems she was very homesick for the US when she returned last year and they allowed her the opportunity once again.
