Operation Giggle

Soon after finding out about YWAM adoption ministry and applying to adopt one of the little girls in their care in Ethiopia , I found out about this ministry:





I was quite intrigued as this ministry had set out to minister to orphans in both China AND Ethiopia. Both my passions!!! Their mission this year is to provide Christmas gifts for orphans in a foster home in China as well as to provide for many of the orphans and widows in YWAM's care centers in Ethiopia. They have done a remarkable job in taking on a huge task of providing gifts for orphans on two different continents. I read their most recent post and realized they are trying to provide gifts for the street children of Gimbie Ethiopia. This is very likely where our daughter will be from. While she is not old enough to be living on the streets , her future could have been just that without YWAM being available there in her village to bring her into care. Operation Giggle is, as of this posting, 9 sponsors short of providing for the street children there in Gimbie. If you would like to make one of these boys and girls giggle with delight this Christmas, click on the above "Operation Giggle" button or in the side bar and they will direct you as to how to make a 25 dollar donation to sponsor one of these children. Yes, we CAN be the hands and feet of Jesus loving the lonely and lost. Thanks for taking the time to check out this incredible ministry and being a part of what God is doing in this great big world!

  1. Hey Shannon!! Janna told me that you guys were bringing home your daughter from Ethiopia! I am so excited for you! What an amazing blessing! I can't wait to follow your journey!

    We are almost ready to send our documents to China, and we are hoping to be matched with our little girl soon. We are doing special needs, so we are hoping it wont be long until we get to see her face!

    Anyway, good luck on your journey!! It is nice knowing you are doing so well. Lottie is GORGEOUS by the way!!

  2. Shannon,
    I would love to talk with you more about your adoption using Children's House International. My husband and I are ready to choose an agency for an Ethiopian infant adoption and we are considering CHI, but would like feedback from couples who have used them before we proceed. My email is: haley.a.carter@gmail.com. If you are willing, I would love to hear about your experience with CHI.

    Your family is beautiful!! Thanks for your time.
