This has been my labor of love for the past several days. I finally have it finished and published. Just watching the images again brings tears to my eyes. I miss these precious widows and orphans so much. One usually goes on a mission trip to serve someone else in need, but it is so true … the person going on the mission is the one hugely blessed by the journey. These women and children changed my life forever.
The incredible music you hear in this slideshow is by Casey Darnell. The title of this post is borrowed from his lyrics. I am a huge fan, so I am honored and thankful for his permission to use his songs on the slideshow. Thank you, Casey!

Kathryn - These images are breathtakingly beautiful! Thank you for sharing these. I am heartbroken to think that there are people in our world today living in such poverty. We have SO much here in America and we take much of it for granted. I would love to share this slideshow on my blog if you wouldn’t mind. To help pass along the word about what Wiphan is doing.
Christine Miao - Thanks for sharing these beautiful images and raising awareness! You have a beautiful heart for missions and I just know those children were blessed by you loving on them!
Love your work btw!
