A reminder for us of why we do this ministry. . .

Jessie’s birth mother was homeless and pregnant when she came to MWC. She chose adoption for her son, and we recently got the following note from his adoptive family.


Jesse – 10 years old – conquered his fear and was the first candle lighter of Advent this year. At his autism assessment last week they asked him what his three main wishes are. He said:

1. That we would be able to adopt this new baby.
2. That there would be more Christians in this world.
3. I have no idea what else – no idea at all.

He totally threw them for a loop, as the 'right' answers were toys, games, and other things that he wanted to own. He scored low on their scale but shot off the top of mine.

Thank you, God, for trusting us with this wonderful son!
