God Continues to Provide

This week, we were busy organizing a fundraiser luncheon for after church today. Everything went so well. We want to thank all of you who contributed to making the lunch a success.

Overall, I am just amazed at how God continues to provide for our adoption--and other adoptions. This was a "surprise" fundraiser for us because it was initiated by a different small group in our church, and God showed up in a big way to provide so much for all three families involved. All three families were each blessed with $890 to add to our funds. This pays for most of our in-country expenses for our upcoming trip.

So, another thank you to all who came and ate, donated extra, helped cook, clean, pour drinks, etc. And, thank You, Jesus, for continuing to provide so much more than we expect.

The kids all congregated in the table closet and entertained themselves while we finished cleaning.

Notice our great t-shirts! If you still want to order, you have a few days left. I really want to get them ordered this week, so let me know by Wednesday if you want one.
