A New Direction

Do you have a favorite time of year?  I love October and it's right around the corner! Last October I was writing about transitions and how I would share more when we hammered out details and firmed up plans.  Well, it took us awhile, but we've hammered out some details, firmed up some plans, and now we have some super exciting news.  

Compelled by God's love and mercy to be a voice for vulnerable children, the Robinson Family is preparing for a move to Santa Rosa de Cópan, Honduras to serve with Legacy of Hope Foundation in the development of family-based solutions for orphaned and vulnerable children.



Our ministry first began 16 years ago when God opened our eyes to the number of vulnerable children in our community in need of the love and nurture of a family.   Since that time, God has allowed us to serve Him with our lives through foster care and adoption ministry.  These experiences have transformed our way of life as God has increasingly used our family to minister to children in need.  Drawing from educational, professional, and personal experiences, our ministry has grown from foster parenting to providing individuals, families and organizations with professional consultation, education and training, compassionate insight, understanding, empathy, and support as they care for orphaned and at risk children. 

As we’ve continued to seek God’s leading in our lives, He has directed our steps into international ministry and introduced us to our friends Matt and Marianne at Legacy of Hope Foundation. We’ve been dreaming and praying with them about this move since we met them and heard about their ministry. God continues to reveal to us His love for the vulnerable child, and we are excited that He has led us into ministry in Honduras.  We are looking forward to living and working in Honduras and are thankful for the privilege of being a voice for orphaned and at risk children. 

Please pray with us!  We covet your prayers and encouragement as we continue developing partners and raising financial support, and as we transition our family to Honduras.   

Partner With Us!  In order to provide for our financial needs while we are serving in Honduras, we’re asking family, friends, and even strangers to prayerfully consider partnering with us as we minister to orphaned and at risk children. These children need and deserve the love of a family and advocates who will stand up and be a voice for them. God has given us the faith to step out and say “yes”, but we cannot do it alone.  We need others to come alongside us as we minister to vulnerable children in need of the love of a family!  Will you say “yes”? 

We are currently raising funds for monthly support, as well as, initial investment costs of our ministry, including:  travel expenses, resident visa expenses, language school, and transportation for our family in Honduras.

Financial gifts for our ministry are tax-deductible and can be made to County Line Church.  Please designate “Robinson Family Missions” on the memo line and send your check to:

County Line Church
2552 County Line Church Road
Warm Springs, Ga. 31830
