Today we had the joy of celebrating a very special young woman as she prepares to welcome her sweet baby into the world.
I’ve had the privilege of watching McKenna Lane grow into a beautiful woman of God. I’ve known and loved her family for more than three decades, traveled the world with her through missions in Tanzania and Uganda, and had the incredible honor of serving alongside her at xHope as our Local Project Assistant.
McKenna has a servant’s heart, unwavering faith, and a genuine love for people that leaves a lasting impact wherever she goes. She has been such a blessing to our team, our volunteers, and the families we serve.
As she prepares for maternity leave, we surprised her today with a few gifts and, of course, her favorite pho soup. While we are so excited to meet this precious baby and celebrate this new chapter, a big part of us will certainly miss her presence around the Hub.
McKenna, we are unbelievably proud of you. We pray this season is filled with rest, joy, sweet bonding moments, and all the beauty that comes with bringing new life into the world. Your xHope family loves you dearly, and we cannot wait to meet your little one. ❤️👶
Congratulations, Mama! What a gift you are.
Love,
Wendi Cross
