This day was sweet. The cry of a newborn that some thought might never be born, a child that might be born with serious defects and illness. His smooth entry into the world, and his perfect little body, and swoops of soft brown hair reminded us of God’s sovereignty. Whether he had been a baby…
Bethesda Farm
The Evan’s family has left the world of corporate success for a world of dependency on God and service to some of our most precious people on the planet.
