A Special Visitor!

What a blessing our GRACE group received today. Our kids have been learning about heroes of the faith. Today they heard a modern day hero of the faith speak to them. Her name is Gracia Burnham. She along with her husband were missionaries to the Philippines. They were kidnapped and held for ransom for over a year. She escaped with a leg injury during their 17th gun battle, but sadly her husband didn't not make it. Her grace and forgiveness for her captors is absolutely amazing! I am very grateful that Caleb and Addy heard her speak. They have both expressed a desire to be missionaries. Thanks to the ladies and especially to Gracia for coming and speaking for our group today!
