This Sunday marks a historic day in my life and in the life of James River.
After three years of prayer and research, on March 22, 2009 we will be officially launching Cherish Kids. Cherish Kids is a foster and adoption initiative that will do three things: Raise Awareness, Provide Resource, and Offer Support. This will be accomplished though four categories: Foster Care, Domestic Adoption, International Adoption, and Support. We are not an agency but will be linking arms with organizations to carry out God's heart for children. " ...You are the defender of orphans ...Lord, You know the hopes of the helpess. Surely you will listen to their cries and comfort them. You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed." Ps. 10:14, 17-18
