Hello! My name is John McCollum, and I'm the co-founder and Executive Director of Asia's Hope. I'll be heading off to Asia to check in on our kids and staff on May 4, 2009, and I'll be blogging here regularly, updating pictures and stories of our ministry's work in Thailand and Cambodia.

I've uploaded a picture of my little family. Chien (yellow shirt) is 11 and a half, and was adopted from Vietnam. Pak (striped shirt) is 10 and a half, and is Korean. Xiu Dan is almost 4, and was adopted from China. My wife and I were high school sweethearts, and are in our 16th year of marriage.

We live in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.

Keep us in your prayers as we work to serve God, our staff and kids in Asia and the churches who support our ministry. If you ever have any questions about Asia's Hope, or would like to chat, please feel free to use the contact form to drop me a line.
