I'm taking this opportunity to thank a lot of special people that started a new chapter in my life. About 3 years ago I was in my small men's group at Cross Pointe Church at Gwinnett Center, James Merrit pastor, when our teacher Lance Sperring told us about a mission trip he went on. I thank Lance for inspiring a new never ending chapter in my life. I thank Tracy Houpt, president of MamaTara Orphanage for taking the time to help my daughter and I through our first mission trip. I thank Gustavo Lepe for leading the last 2 trips I've been on. He has a heart of gold for these children. I thank the mission team for accepting us and making us feel welcome. I thank Mama Tara and the children for giving us this opportunity to be part of something great. I thank my Men Step Up group for the weekly prayers at my table. I thank those that have supported this cause financially. I thank Ronnie Bettis owner of Braselton Antique Mall in Braselton, GA for giving space to market pictures that help the financial needs. I thank the folks at Discount Picture Framing, Lawrenceville. I thank AmeriCredit and Aflac. I thank my family. And most of all I thank God.
