Instruments in His hands

The Speaking Tour is going great! Our opportunities to share about BMH and the orphans in China has been extensive, thanks to our "tour managers" Sam & Julie, who are the town celebrities here in Port Stephens and have a real connection withe the community!

Some highlights have been sharing at churches (we had 5 speaking engagements collectively on Sunday!), teas, small groups, and special dinners. We were featured in the newspaper, and recorded an interview for a Christian radio station the other day. Connections have formed left and right it seems, and we feel blown away at God's goodness to us and how much He is doing!

I've often ask God to use me in the way He wants to...that He can have full reign over my life, myself, my dreams. And it's been an amazing time to watch God answer that prayer by using my hands and feet in a small way to glorify Him. As I was listening to our radio interview this morning, I was so thankful that God would use my voice to speak up for orphans. I am simply an instrument in my Maker's hand...and I want all of this to be for Him (even though I feel so blessed by Him right now.) I just want to speak when He asks me to and do what He wants me to...with "Kristen" fading away and CHRIST becoming all others see.

Christy & I with the family we're staying with here who are simply fantastic. A walk on the beach was a nice way to get over jet lag! :)

James...my Australian love.


We visited the boy's Primary School and spoke to the older kids at their chapel service (not pictured here.)


Lookin' out at the big blue...We spotted some dolphins, and there's been talk of Great Whites in this area! I'll keep my distance, thank you very much! ;)

Thanks everybody! Please do keep us in your prayers!
