Caring for Orphans in Guatemala



Eight years ago, Todd and Amy Block followed the Lord's leading to add to their family of six by adopting a little girl from Guatemala.  And, as they say, their lives have never been the same.  Five adoptions later (yes, that makes 9 kids!), the Lord has changed the direction of their path.  Now they are going to the orphans. 

Guatemala is a country that is no longer open for inter-country adoption.  But there are still many, many orphans there!  As you can imagine, the Blocks care deeply about these precious little ones, and they have decided to sell everything and move their family to Guatemala to spend their lives teaching, sharing the gospel with, providing for and loving orphans.  Check out the video above for more details about their plans.    

Would you please consider partnering with this AMAZING family as they partner with the Lord in caring for the least of these?  They are so special to us because their youngest daughter Havyn was at the same orphanage as our kiddos, and in fact her crib was next to our son's!  Amy and her oldest daughter Addisyn were in Ethiopia at the same time we were to pick her up, and it's been our privilege and joy to keep in touch with them since.  There's hardly a more awesome family that we could recommend you consider supporting.
