Why MUST ACT? "When I was adopted, my parents picked me up from the hospital and I was not in an incubator… I had been born 2 months premature. They were told later, that if I had not received the proper medical care, it is likely that I would not have lived.” 43 years ago, in Hualien, Taiwan, Julia was adopted and her life changed. Julia had been born 2 months premature and the Mustard Seed Mission Taiwan (MSM) was there when Julia needed them. They saw a need in the community & put "ACTION" to help with the need. It wasn't until Julia was about 40 years old that she heard about MSM. She learned that it is the organization which helped her to have a great start in life. |

Julia Davis was adopted as a baby from Taiwan in 1974, through the Mustard Seed Mission Taiwan (MSM). Founded by Mrs. Lillian Dickson, MSM has been reaching out to help the people of Taiwan for the last 63 years. Since Julia's adoption was handled through Mustard Seed Mission, it was her desire to give back to the place that helped her get such a great start in life. She decided to run a marathon in honor of MSM.
Julia hopes to raise funds to help provide for the current children that live at the Agape Children's Home, which is a minstry of MSM. In February, she will participate in the Mercedes Marathon in her current home state of Alabama, USA. She is thankful that there was a place available to help her as a baby & that same heart to help other children has followed her throughout life. The physical and mental development which occurs during childhood, are fundamental years of growth. At the Agape Children's home, we wish to fill these important years of life with love and support. We work to give the children of Taiwan a great start in life, just as Julia received over 40 years ago. |
