I'm so glad, over the moon, that my little blog led you to an opportunity to help children on Ebeye. I wish I'd known that you were coming because I would have loved to meet you and say thank you in person. I can't tell you how much your sponsorship means to those children and their families. Thank you, and your church, from the bottom of my heart!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592227803635297874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248074140541353174.post-46031270450307785842015-10-09T23:23:46.838-07:002015-10-09T23:23:46.838-07:00Hello, My name is Christian Small. I wanted to sha...Hello, My name is Christian Small. I wanted to share my story of how your Blog and God's use of it has redirected my life. This will be the short version.<br />When I was a child, I lived on Kwaj. Back in January I Googled Kwajalein to share a part of my youth with my 23 year old daughter. Somehow, I was redirected to Ebeye. As I read more about the Island my heart became involved with helping in some way. I started researching ways to help and landed on your Blog. Through your Blog I found Cheryle Johnson and the IMC tuition program. After communicating with Cheryle, I decided to sponsor a child. Then I got my church involved which is big on supporting missions and they agreed to support this one and we were able to run funds through our non-profit status. At this point we now sponsor 5 children's yearly tuition and am in the process of sponsoring 3 or 4 more. God was not done with me yet, and long story short my sister and I, after 48 years returned to Kwaj and missioned on Ebeye for two weeks in September. I was able to meet 4 of my five sponsored children and helped with the construction of 4 new classrooms at the SDA school. Fell in love with the people there and am now in the process of returning in January for about 5 weeks to continue on this God directed journey.<br />In any case, I thought compelled to share how a few clicks of my mouse, a random blog, and an email address has forever changed my life.<br />All God's Blessings to your beautiful family,<br />ChristianAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475391446286447440noreply@blogger.com
