Our Message on Love

Wendy speaking to a homeschool group in Colorado earlier this month.

We have been venturing out on public speaking. We live busy lives (show me a family with 16 children who doesn’t), but God has called us time and time again to speak out on our message of Children, Family, Love and Jesus.
