In 2013, I was finishing college with a degree in Biblical Studies and Counseling. I knew that my end goal was to become a counselor for children and parents going through the adoption process. I started talking with a friend of mine about learning about the other side of the process, the orphanage, because I thought that I needed to know about their lives before to help them process life with a new family and culture. God, of course, knew my plans and how he could shape them into his own perfect ones. After graduation, my friend and I came for a long internship. I was to stay for just one year. I haven't left yet. Through Mike and Amy Riddering's encouragement, I prayerfully decided to stay on. Through the last few years, my responsibilities have grown and now include working with the sponsorship program in West Africa and helping with the adoption process for children in the orphanage. I have also recently begun partnering with another ministry in teaching English as a Foreign Language and working with the children in the missionary community. It is my hope that God will grant me the grace to continue to do this work to draw others to Him and to, ultimately, glorify his Name.
