Our Story

We are the Ayers Family and this is our story, our journey of "Becoming His HOPE"

A year ago a journey began that would ultimately change my life, and the life of my family. My name is Jamie Ayers and this is my journey of “Becoming His HOPE” with God’s perfect plan for my family.

So, let me tell you a little bit about my family. We have three beautiful children. Emma is 9, Jacob is 8 and Annley is almost 3 years old. The two older kids attend West Shore Christian Academy. The youngest will go to preschool in the fall. They are the love and joy of my life. I have an amazing supportive and loving husband of ten years of marriage. He is the only one I would ever want to go through this crazy life with. We have two pets Liberty our sweet loving golden retriever and Abby our shy cat. They are a huge part of our family and could not go without mention. We are a fun family that loves God, family, friends and taking vacations (especially to Disney World).

I prayed the prayer “God break my heart for what breaks yours” and He did just that… With this simple prayer my heart and home were opened to grow my family through adoption. We are on this journey because we were called by God to not only see the orphans of the world but to do more.

James 1:27 says; "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you".

And that brings us to where we are today – being humble and faithful servants of God.

We started researching countries and our eyes and hearts were opened to Ethiopia. The amazing people and culture were one reason but the true poverty and need is why we choose this beautiful place. Africa has millions of orphans and Ethiopia has 5 million orphans in a country double the size of Texas. That is staggering to comprehend. We are so excited to think that over 7,000 miles away God has a little boy ready for his forever family. We have already experienced many humbling affirmations that God is right there with us each step of the way. We are grateful for the love and support of our family and friends and ask that you please pray for our journey.
