OUR MISSION
Every child deserves an education, no matter what country they live in. Our mission is to put this and other books into the hands of as many African and American children as possible. We also want to build a permanent location for our school in Liberia; continue growing and educating children in Nigeria; and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout parts of Africa and America! By using a percent of all proceeds from sales of the book and by raising separate financial support, we believe we can get this goal accomplished within the next couple of years. WE cannot change the countries of Africa, but educated children can and will! With your prayers and support.... one book at a time... we can get this done!

About the Book
A Girl Like Me is a story about the life of an American girl and the life of a West African
girl, and how they become sisters. Though their cultures are very different, there are
some things that are very much the same in these two girls’ lives. These similarities make
them realize they are not so different and that they have family all around the world.

SISTERS
Our book launch for "A Girl Like Me" went well! We had some very special people come as guests, including these two little girls and their mother. God has blessed them with an amazing journey and a story of their own through adoption. They have truly discovered the full meaning of family! His plans are far greater than we can ever imagine! How lucky were we to have them?!!!!
