I’ve been friends for 14 years with my bestie Julie Neal and she NEVER ceases to amaze me. Julie obeyed God’s calling when He told her to dig a well in Chuko, Ethiopia (birth village of her son, Cruz) and never gave up! Her VERY famous brother could have helped her in a heartbeat, but she trusted God would do exactly what He said He would do and persevered. She wants to share with you her big dream you can’t refuse.
Serving and visiting any third world country has a way of breaking your heart and making you feel whole all at the same time. Haiti was the country that broke my heart and filled my spirit making me feel whole. Going to Haiti was my 1st trip to a poverty…

My last year of life has been the most challenging I have ever experienced. Hands down. God has been omnipresent, yet at times he has never seemed farther away. I was inexpressibly proud and excited for my family after discovering the summer before my senior year that my father had…
The Gibson family mission-adventure has come to an end! We lived 14 months loving big in Ethiopia, Haiti & Nicaragua! It’s been the best of days & most challenging days, but we faced it together. We are ALL called to love. Go. Love. Big.
It’s been an adventure partnering as a blogger with Visiting Orphans Ministry for the past five years. They have been a key part of changing the life-passion of our family serving short term mission teams all over the world. We are grateful for their fervent passion, guidance, and training others…
