Show Notes
"When you do co-sponsorship, I think before you start you don't realize how much you can come to love people that you've never met before, from another part of the world."
"We have to be worth that kind of trust. But there will be ups and downs, not everything's going to go smoothly. It takes some persistence. It takes lots of prayer."
