Look what God has done! | 3 years

This past week we celebrated my little brother's 6th birthday! Who is that little brother? Elijah, as in handiworkforElijah.

Which means Handiwork for Orphans has been open for 3 years! THREE YEARS!

And during that three years God has blessed this ministry more than I can believe, and we're not done growing! 

Let's recap:

• 3 years
• Founded in Sept 2010 to help bring my little brother home from Ukraine
• Added Rachel as the missing half of HFO in June 2011
• Hundreds of hats made and sold
• Hundreds of dishcloths and other items made and sold
• 25+ craft sales
• Several people inspired to start their own shops selling items to help orphans
• Hundreds of people made aware of our cause and the plight of the orphan
• Over $7000 raised (estimated)
• 16+ orphans helped to find their families and come home
• 6 of those have families working to get them!
• and 8 are HOME with their forever families!

God is SO good! And we are so grateful to Him, and to everyone who made this possible.

Here's to another 3 years, to more money raised, to more children helped, to more families completed, to more love made.

Dude wasn't cooperating for pictures....

Thank you Elijah! For getting this party started!
