Let the Ministry Begin!

We have been given the thumbs up for an Orphan Ministry at our church!! God is so good! We should be meeting with about 4 other couples (2 I haven't ever met) in the next week or so to get the ball rolling! I'm so excited!

As I was reading in my latest book, Adopted for Life (thank you, Susan for sharing), I came across this thought:
"This adoption could very well be a catalyst to create a more adoption friendly environment in your church and neightborhood."
God is doing that now!  I'm so thankful I get to be a part of this!  If so many can follow our journey, and see that God is GOOD, maybe, just maybe others will reach out to give these babies a home, too.  Maybe that's you.......

After all, how can you resist a face like this?






In an effort to see who my audience is, please LEAVE A COMMENT with your name. I'm thinking about doing a little contest to celebrate all my supporters.  By Friday evening, I will randomly draw a name and let you know if you are the lucky winner. I'm sure the prize will have something to do with ADOPTION. Or maybe RAZORBACKS.  Or some other fun TREAT. The possibilities are endless. So go ahead and leave your name!

    Excellent! So glad you've gotten the go ahead. I had someone recently ask me how to adopt from foster care because I posted something on my facebook.
