Greetings and Salutations to all! I know it was a few weeks back but, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend celebrating the resurrection of our savior! It was a busy yet fantastic weekend here at SFCV with many joys and smiles! Our staff decided to take a different route to the resurrection celebration this year. Normally we all head to the city for Easter Sunday service and an nice afternoon lunch; however, this year, we all headed up north out of the city to the Great Wall, then later to the very center of our city, the Forbidden City! What better way to celebrate Christ than spending the day in his marvelous creation! Honestly, I've been the Great Wall 5 times now, and I have to say this Easter was the most beautiful day EVER  on the wall! The sky was clear, the sun was warm and the wall wasn't crowded (all of these things are pretty rare)! It was a gorgeous day, with great friends, celebrating our salvation! I know I say this a lot, but I am so utterly gratefu...

Hi! I'm Sid! Good Morning to all of you in the west and Good Night to all of you on my half of the world! I can't wait to tell you all about this awesome kid named, Sid. Kid named, Sid! haha, it rhymes! LOL :) Sid is awesome you're all going to love him, I just know it! Sid came to SFCV, not that long ago from a city in inner Mongolia (North China) called, Baotou. He has called SFCV home for almost 3 years, and boy are we happy to have him here! He's a ray of sunshine and can bring a smile to anyone's face. I chose to write my first advocacy blog about Sid for two reasons: 1. He's awesome and everyone should know about him and all that he can do, plus he needs a forever family...soon! and 2. On June 1st, Sid will turn 12 years old. That means he only has 2 more years to find a forever family. In China once a child turns 14years old they can no longer be adopted. This is heartbreaking. A lot of kids with special needs that age out of the adoption system ...
