Our Family

Dear friends, family, and generous donors,
Welcome to the Pettersen God's Littlest Angels Orphanage blog. We are so glad you found us! For those of you that do not know us very well we want to give you a little bio on our family. We have been married for twenty-one years. We have four wonderful children who are amazing blessings to us. Rachel is fifteen years old. She has a passion for the Lord and serves Him with whole-hearted devotion. Matthew is ten. He also has a beautiful heart. He is the comedian of our family! Gracie is four years old. She is a dream fulfilled of our family. She was adopted from Guangxi China four years ago. Last but not least is Titus, and he is also four. He was born in Liberia (West Africa region), and we have had him for almost two-and-one-half years. Our children are constantly asking, "Can we adopt again?" For now we are probably not going to do this, but we are still wanting to help orphans. As we pray on what that will look like we have the opportunity to volunteer at God's Littlest Angels, an orphanage in Haiti. Please see their website at www.glahaiti.org . We have planned, prayed, and prepared for this trip for over four months. I cannot tell you what an incredible journey it has been already. God has provided in so many ways and through so many people! We are so convinced of God's hand in this and so excited for what is yet to come. Please check back soon, we will do an update (hopefully early) next week from Haiti!
