Learn About Bangladesh

I went on my first trip to Bangladesh in November of 2006. I was kind of no, I take that back, I was COMPLETELY pushed to go. At the time I was the Videographer/Editor of a large church in the Chicago area and was asked to go to document the trip for the church. So, I went.

And it completely changed my view of the world, and of God.

Meeting the orphans we worked with at the Home of Blessings, was truly life changing. They have nothing, yet they are so happy, and their love for God is so obvious. It was amazing to me that I could go to the other side of the world and see these little kids speaking a foreign language, yet worshiping the same God I did.

God opened my eyes and heart to the world on that trip. I've since gone back 3 times and plan to go back again this fall. On my trips there was one little boy who caught my attention and who I connected with. His name is Mitu. He is precious to me, his picture is below. My hope and prayer is to be able to raise funds to send people (including myself) to this remote part of the world to let these children experience earthly love, some of them-for the first time in their lives.
