Welcome to our blog concerning our adoption of a little girl from Ethiopia. Thank you for joining us on this journey. From this blog you can get updates on how things are progressing, find out information on Ethiopia, donate to our adoption fund or check out pictures as they arrive. Thank you for walking with us!
4.5 million orphans in Ethiopa alone.
This is our chance to join together to ensure that in Ethiopa, there is ONE LESS ORPHAN.

Feet!
Our dear friend Kate took these photos while she was keeping our kids for a recent trip. I LOVE the one of my 4 kids! The single one is Caia...she asked to have her feet taken alone. Kate was so sweet to oblige!
We know the sacrifices any of us are called to make when compared to the plight of orphans around the world are really just an inconvenience. -Jan Beazley from AGCI
We are the Shannons (Jerry, Christy, Joshua, Micah, Caia & Hanna). We live in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where we moved in November 2009. While we originally moved here with the idea of planting an English speaking church, we have sensed God moving us toward work with the poor, the child and the orphan. We now find ourselves exploring those possibilities.
Prior to moving to Ethiopia we pastored the Lancaster Vineyard Church in Lancaster, PA. We also have lived in New York, West Virginia and Ontario, Canada.
We are followers of Jesus who long to see a difference made in the world around us. The focus of this blog is to help you understand this journey and to consider partnering with us!
