God Is Faithful

We are so incredibly grateful to have been approved for the matching grant program through 

Dark To Dawn Ministry and Lifesong For Orphans!  

They will match gifts and fund raising efforts dollar for dollar up to $2500!  

Last year when we announced 

that we were going to start the process to adopt another little girl from China, 

we had no idea how we were going to pay for this adoption.  

In fact, we didn't even know how we were going to pay for the initial application fee, let alone the whole $35,000 estimated total.  

But, God put it on our hearts to begin.  

We knew He wanted us to step out in faith and just start.  

He had even made us feel rather uncomfortable and distressed 

by not doing what He had asked more quickly.  

Have you ever felt that feeling?  

Knowing God is calling you to act, but you don't respond?  

It doesn't feel good at all!

But, oh my, 

when we obeyed, 

when we stepped out and did what He was calling us to do,

it was

 amazing to watch God provide!

So reassuring to see His hand at work.

In the past year, He has provided $20,000!!

Isn't that incredible?

I want to stand up and cheer while I type!

So, we have no doubt that God will finish the work that 

He has begun.  

We are so thankful to friends and family 

(and some strangers!)

who have given so generously.  

And can't wait to see how He continues to bless 

us through this process.

If you would like to help, there are several ways to do that!
