Welcome!!

As many of you know this past summer I spent 8 weeks in Malawi, Africa serving as an intern with an organization called Children of the Nations. As you read further you will see ways that my heart has forever been changed because of this experience. It is a journey of losing myself and finding Christ in the eyes of the poor and orphaned. I have come to realize that this was not just a 2 month vacation, but that I am now responsible for what I have seen. I am now in the process of taking what I know and applying it to my world here. Please join me in this as I become more aware of the hurts in Africa and search for other ways to serve at home. I pray that this website will not only be informative, but also encouraging. Thank you for visiting!
God Bless!!

Love,
Karin :)

Encouraging Words of God

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" Ephesians 3:20
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

A couple pictures so that you really know I'm here :)



Picture 1 (sorry I can't make it verticle...) Here I am with one of the widows Mrs. Harry and 2 of her children Febby (who I am holding) and her son (I am forgetting his name right now...). It took them a while to warm up to me but now Mrs. Harry greets me with a huge everytime and by the end of the day I can get Febby smiling and laughing. 
Picture 2: This is a tickle fest in Mgwayi (the village right behind us) and I am in the process of falling over. Christina (on the right) loves to wear my sunglasses and laughs so hard when I have her look through my prescription glasses. They don't really understand the difference so it's funny to see their reactions.
