Harvey, Rosa, Derek, Karlin and Shalisa Burkholder

Our family has served with Orphan Resources International for more than 3 years. In that time, we have served as work team coordinators. It has been a time of learning and growing spiritually for us as we learn to do things in God's time rather than our own. We love the work we do here, and thank God for the opportunity to touch these children's lives.

Every day is an adventure, not knowing what will turn up. Harvey has done it all, from the glamorous to the not so glamorous! From driving bus, directing work teams, and fixing a prosthetic leg, to unplugging drains and toilets! The orphanages all know that if something needs to be done, call Harvey. As I said, we love it!

The best part is being able to foster our children as we wait for their adoptions to complete. We have gained a brand new love for their country of birth through God calling us to serve him in Guatemala.
