  1. Hello Aerni Family,
    We are so thankful to be able to share in this journey with you through this blog. It has been so inspirational to us. I wanted to share a story with you as a testimony to God's amazing power and how he used your prayers to touch our hearts here.

    So, Saturday morning Zeb went out for a jog. He came home and said he had found 37.00 dollars on the ground while out running. He said he specifically asked God to show him what this money should be used for. So then later that afternoon i was reading through your blog catching up on what had been happening with you all. When I came to the story of the kids being turned away my heart to broke into pieces. I then went and looked at the sponsership information with a desire to give hope to one of those little kids. The little girl Sonam really stood out to me. I almost signed up then and there, but know I should talk with Zeb first. A couple of hours later I was driving in the car with the kids and talking to God about this situation with the children in India. I was telling him that I sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the need out there and know that I can meet them all. I told Him I would trust Him to show me what needs He wanted to use our family for. Then it hit me! He showed me the 37 dollars that Zeb found on the run and told me that it was to be used for the purpose of sponsoring a child. I hadn't put it all together until that very moment. How specific God was in this situation! What are the odds of Zeb finding the exact amount needed to sponser a child and on the exact day i was reading the blog! I called him and told him about this and he marveld with me over how amazing our God is. Sooo, as long as Sonam is still up for sponsorship, we plan to sponsor her so she will never have to be turned away again. Praise God for allowing us to be a part of what He is doing in India. Thanks for your servent hearts. Live are being touched and forever changed by your love for Jesus Christ. Love you guys!

    I'm currenty having an issue signing up for the automatic withdrawl as the website has the monthly fee stuck at 130.00 a month and I can't get it to change. I've e-mailed them to see what to do about it.
