Our journey began about 2 years ago when God placed people in our lives to reveal His plan for our family to adopt a child from Ukraine. A dear friend of our family (David Mc Cormick) called me up one day and said," Sherrie, I am not sure why I feel that I should be calling you, but something told me to call you about going on a mission trip with North Monroe Baptist Church to Ukraine." I was speechless but yet excited because I knew that I would be teaching the children there about God and how God loves them. I, of course, said, "Let me pray about it and talk to Kirk and go from there." David said, "You need to decide quickly because you will need to apply for a passport." After praying and talking it over with Kirk, we both felt that this was certainly God telling me to go to Ukraine. I still was not sure why I was going, but God knew all along the plan that He had for our family. God has given me an opportunity to go to Ukraine on 2 other mission trips since then. Praise God that I listened to His voice about going. I had no idea why God was sending me to Ukraine, nor did I have the funds to go. I praise God for placing people in my life to provide the way for me to go on the mission trips to Ukraine with North Monroe Baptist Church.
