Celebrating 6 Years of Faith, Hope, and Changing Lives
Six years ago, God placed a burden on my heart that I could not ignore.
What began with one mission trip, one village, and a small group of children has grown into a ministry reaching hundreds of precious children in the brick-kiln villages of Pakistan and the mountains of Nepal.
Books For Bricks was never my plan—it was God’s plan.
I simply said yes.
Over these six years, God has opened doors that only He could open. He has provided teachers, schools, food, clothing, clean water, Bibles, medical help, and countless opportunities to share the love of Jesus with children and families who desperately need hope.
Every child has a story. Every smile matters. Every little hand that learns to write its name is a reminder that God sees them, God loves them, and their lives have value.
Our mission has always been about more than education. We want these children to learn their ABCs and numbers, but we also want them to know the greatest truth of all—that Jesus loves them.
As we celebrate six years, my heart is filled with gratitude. I am thankful for every person who has prayed, given, encouraged, traveled, taught, served, and believed in what God is doing through Books For Bricks.
There have been difficult seasons and moments when I wondered how the needs would ever be met. But time and time again, God has reminded me:
“Trust Me. These are My children.”
And He has always been faithful.
Today, I dedicate the sixth anniversary of Books For Bricks to the children—the little boys and girls whose smiles have captured our hearts and whose lives remind us why we cannot stop.
I dedicate it to the teachers and pastors who faithfully serve them.
I dedicate it to every prayer warrior and every person who has helped make this ministry possible.
And most of all, I dedicate it to Jesus Christ, the One who started it all.
May every book opened, every lesson taught, every meal provided, every well dug, every Bible given, and every child who hears the name of Jesus bring glory to God.
Six years down, and by God’s grace, we are just getting started.
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
