Joy McCarnan is planning and hoping to join a mission trip* through Together for Adoption and Carolina Hope Adoption Agency this June 10-19 with a number of folks from likeminded USA churches to serve orphans in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Here is some footage of some of the orphans the team will encounter this summer: [editorial note: Video had to be removed temporarily due to concerns unrelated to the Orphans Refuge team’s trip to Addis Ababa.]
As you view this video, please pray about the Orphans Refuge trip, and please pray about your own involvement in the lives of orphans, foster children, and adoptive families.

DONATION DETAILS:
* If you would like to give toward deferring Joy’s trip costs, here are specifics:
Checks can be made payable to Morning Star Baptist Ministries (or to Global Grace, Inc.), and mailed to this address:

Any funds that are given in excess of Joy’s trip costs will be put into the Hannah’s Heart fund, Morning Star’s orphan care and adoption-financing effort. The current Hannah’s Heart project is helping Jeremy and Anouk Scott bring their sons Alex and Josiah home from Liberia.
