I’m excited to be bringing Autumn Kerr to you this week. She’s the executive director of Visiting Orphans, a Nashville-based ministry that partners with orphanages, schools, and ministries around the world that care for children and communities. They organize short-term trips for churches, schools, and other organizations to places like Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Ukraine. In our time together, Autumn shared several stories of God’s amazing grace in her life and ministry.[bctt tweet="Be an advocate!"]In this week’s interview you’ll discoverOne scripture that many people dislike but has been a key to Autumn’s lifeHow a job change turned into an opportunity for God’s provision and a new directionHow she was able to make it through the process of adopting a boy from Ethiopia as a single womanHow reading The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?set her up for her first mission tripWhat her team has done over the last year and how they are able to create ministry teams out of people who have never metWhere you can go to learn more and get involvedHow you can increase your support for a missionary or ministry without increasing your financial commitmentThe advice that has helped Autumn be available to do her best at the things God has called her to doThe significance of hundreds of painted tree leavesThe habit that has allowed her to start a personal blog and is the key to raising her adopted son as a single motherResources:Visiting OrphansMy Single AdoptionBook Recommendation: Sun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the ImpossibleHow she would take advantage of the situation if she found herself in a new country.Her recommendation for how to let God guide decisions[bctt tweet=“Consider it all joy..."]ResourcesVisiting OrphansMy Single AdoptionA Discipleship Journey: A Guide for Making Disciples That Make Disciple-MakersSun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the ImpossibleThe Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?Disclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links in the post above are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission.
