Word for the Week

We are privileged this morning to welcome Blu and Darbi Tidwell to FBC Grandview this morning as they share with us about their ministry to orphans in Zambia. Allow me to share a bit about the Tidwell’s.

Blu and Darbi Tidwell both grew up in Texas and were married in 2001. Upon Blu’s graduation from Texas A&M in 2003, they served with the International Mission Board in Zambia, Africa. There, they worked with teenagers and children in the schools as they taught the True Love Waits program. It was then that God began to lay on their hearts a love for orphans and a desire to teach them God’s Word while helping them rise above their seemingly hopeless living situations.

The Tidwell’s returned to the States in 2005 with their firstborn son, Caedmon, who was born in South Africa. Blu completed his Master of Divinity Degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary while serving as youth pastor in Alvarado, Texas. Cambree joined the family in 2006, and Baby Cason arrived in 2008.

The Tidwell Family moved back to Zambia in January of 2010 to work full-time with New Day Orphanage.

Join me in extending them a warm FBC Grandview welcome!!
