Here He Is!!!!

What a big boy! Jonathan, we are so proud of you! Good job walking, buddy!



To think less than 7 months ago, Jonathan was so weak and malnourished he could not sit on his own. In July, when he was brought into the orphanage, Jonathan was not strong enough to even keep his head up. And, today HE IS LEARNING TO WALK!!!!

Thank you, Lord, for blessing this wonderful little boy with all the loving people to care for him. Three Angels, his nannies and all the staff and volunteers have dedicated their time to helping Jonathan become strong and healthly. How blessed is Jonathan to be with such love, devotion and care. God bless each of you for caring for our son!

Thank you, Shannon, for sharing this video! It is so special and so wonderful to be able to see his first few steps. I am so grateful you and your team were at Three Angels to capture it and celebrate with our boy!

Way to go, Jonathon! I am always amazed by how drastically a child's life changes when they are taken in, loved, fed, and feel safe.

Just imagine how much more Jonathon is going to blossom when he finally gets home and has is surrounded by his family everyday!

Can't wait to see all that the Lord has in store for him!
