Well, did you catch that title? That is our official new name for our Adoption Ministry! I love it! One of our team members came up with it and it just fits!  This is the flyer that will go out in info bags at our church's Trunk or Treat. I am so thankful for the timing of this for our ministry to get the word out!

 

 

Last Sunday was our Launch Day and it was a success! During the offertory we played a video from the Orphan Sunday website, and showed a slide as an announcement that we are a new ministry and have a table set up in the foyer with more information. The pastor even mentioned it from the pulpit so everyone heard!  Our friends, Robert and Susan, said 15 people signed the cards stating their interest and a lot of others stopping to ask questions and inquire more about it. This Sunday Brian and I and another couple are manning the table. After the final service we are serving sandwiches and ice cream to those interested in hearing and learning more. We will each (4 couples) share our testimony of adoption and let them know why we felt God's call and where we would like to see the ministry go. We have another form for those who come to fill out giving us more details about the families and where they are with adoption. One couple joined Sunday and are a waiting family! Odd timing? I think not!

 

Have I mentioned how amazing it is to be right smack in the middle of God's work? He is doing something mighty, folks! How will you be a part? Will you....

 

1. Pray for someone you know is adopting?

 

2. Pray for someone considering adoption or dealing with infertility?

 

3. Take a step of faith in adopting or fostering?

 

4. Financially support a couple or ministry?

 

5. Take food to a family that just brought a child home?

 

6. Host a special shower?

 

7. Read about adoption/fostering/orphan care so you will be educated and not fall into the pitfalls of "uneducated adoption comments"?

 

8. Pray for birthmoms to choose life, and VOTE for those in our government who support this choice!

 

9. Start a ministry in your church?

 

There are so many ways to be involved. One of the most powerful moments when Brian and I were at the beginning stages of adoption planning, was when a sweet family from our church called and asked if their family could come to our house and pray for and with us. Now that's power! I was moved. And so was their son who asked 2 years later about this moment he was involved in, and whether or not that couple got a baby. What a testimony from his mom and dad!
