Keith Dow shares the story of Brett and Breha’s journey of faith through adopting William, a child with exceptional needs. Their experience deepens their connection to community and highlights the realities of belonging and mutual support. This video offers a glimpse of God’s presence in everyday challenges and growth.

Attending Harvest Bible Chapel in Niagara, Ontario, Brett and Breha have experienced a transformative journey which led to their adoption of William, a child with exceptional needs. Learn more about their spiritual growth as part of Harvest Niagara from 0:00 to 3:45, or jump to the story of William’s adoption at 3:46. Many of us, I’m sure, can relate to Brett’s observation (5:04) of our own tendency to place a primary emphasis on a lot of secondary things.
