Sunshine in Mozambique

Sunshine in Mozambique

In 2011, God called my husband & me across the ocean to a land we didn’t know, to people we had no relationship, to a language we couldn’t understand. We were called to start a business in the 2nd worst nation in the world for doing business, but we knew this was God. God took 2 imperfect people & used us to bring hope, dignity, & opportunity to some of the poorest people. He gives us grace each day. The main reason I write is: to make sense of struggles, suffering, & injustice surrounding me. Writing gives me a way to process the hardness I witness, see God in the midst, & give Him glory.

In the dry, dusty soil of rural Mozambique, seeds planted with hope have grown into food, income, and renewed dignity. Now, thanks to generous donors, this life-giving garden will thrive year-round…feeding families and inspiring futures.

What do brownies, prayer, and bunkbeds have in common? At Sunshine House 9, they all played a part in transforming six empty beds into a warm, joy-filled home for six little girls. This is the beautiful story of how faith, community, and a bit of chocolate opened the doors to new beginnings.

We are as committed to our house mothers as we are to the children in our care. Once widowed, abandoned, and vulnerable, they now have a reason to live and love again.

Cecilia was our very first Sunshine child 11 years ago. She has overcome all that life has thrown at her, is graduating university, and soon will be leaving the nest. She is an inspiration and deserves to be celebrated!

I love a lot of things about our program, but one of my favorite things is watching new children transform after coming home with us. They leave behind their life of suffering, shed the worries that burdened them, and they get to be children again.
