MOSAIC Update

It has been so neat to see God's hand in this ministry.  We have two very exciting events coming up in the next couple of months. On October 13th we are hosting Kim Brown, Director of House of Love. The House of Love is a home for the women and children of Thailand affected by HIV/AIDS.  Many of these were sold into prostitution, orphaned or otherwise ostracized by the Thai government. She is only in Texas for a week, and we are thrilled to be able to have her with us for an afternoon.

Our next event is on Orphan Sunday, November 3rd!  We have two incredible guest speakers coming to share more about foster care and how we, as believers, are called to care for them.  We have had several families express interest in learning more about foster care, but none of our Mosaic leadership members have much experience with it so we have set it aside up until now.  Through a series of really random connections (that only God could weave together) between two of my friends (who don't even know each other), I was led to two ladies:  Emma Casselton and Lauren Hudgeons.

Emma Casselton is currently the Administrator of James 1 Ministry out of FBC Greenville.  She is a retired Foster Adoption Specialist from the state of Texas and is a wealth of knowledge! 

 Lauren Hudgeons (http://webpages.charter.net/adoptionsforhisglory) is a local prosecuting attorney and practices law in the areas of adoption, wills, and probate administration.  Both ladies are passionate about their jobs and the care of orphans.  They will be teaming up to share their experiences and answer questions about Foster Care.  But above all, they are believers using their God-given talents to care for "the least of these."  I am more than excited about this event as I have seen God's hand directly moving!  I will begin praying now for the Lord to move in the hearts of our church members to join us in finding out how we can help care for those that need it.
