Mike’s tickets have been purchased and this upcoming trip will actually start on November 26th, not the 29th. He decided to extend his layover in Ethiopia for a couple of days. He will be visiting a facility operated by All God’s Children International (organization based in Portland, Oregon). As well as seeing what they do there, he will possibly be helping with some repairs needed on their orphan home. The rest of the trip Mike & Emmanuel will be in & around Kigali, Rwanda finding the location for the new Home of Innocence.

One of the ways you can give towards the Home of Innocence is by purchasing a framed photograph from Rwanda. These photographs are really special because they were each taken by kids living in the ANLM orphan homes (they went through a photography workshop even). We do not have these all listed on our website yet, but we hope to soon. If not, I may be posting them on our blog here. (Recently Mike tried to update the Ten Talents International website & bad things happened to it- but it’s back to normal now thank God!) Of course you can always contact us directly if you are interested ([email protected]).

We appreciate your continued prayers for this trip and the Home of Innocence. We believe God will provide the funds that are still needed, and if you would like to give please click on this link //tentalentsint.org/about%20homes.htm Starting a new home requires some up front expenses, but we believe God will use this home to have an eternal impact on the lives of many children who are right now on the streets. Ten Talents International is not the ministry of the McColm family- it is your ministry. God chooses to use all of us together, ordinary people, to do extraordinary things for the kingdom of God.

We are so blessed to work together with you!
God Bless You,
Lisa
