India Adoptions through a Pandemic
Morgan Terch, Program Manager of India shares more about how families can engage internationally, specifically through adoption in India.
GUEST
Morgan Terch is the Program Manager of India. Morgan graduated from the University of Alabama in 2014 with a Bachelors degree in Social Work and a minor in Communication Studies. Jesus began awakening Morgan’s heart for the nations when her family took a short-term mission trip to India in 2005. At that time, Morgan began to realize the immense physical and spiritual need around the world. Since then, Morgan has spent several months serving in Nepal, along with other areas of the world including India and the Dominican Republic, where her view of God was expanded as she was able to glimpse what He is doing in the church internationally. Morgan has always found her heart pulled towards ministering to the vulnerable and oppressed populations in the world, and ever since she heard about the ministry of Lifeline, she knew it was something that she wanted to be apart of. Morgan is amazed at the Lord’s faithfulness in allowing her the privilege to be a part of the Lifeline community, serving many wonderful families in pursuit of adoption.
