We had the opportunity to share the need for orphan ministry at our church. November 8, 2009 was a day set aside across our nation and around the world to share this great need.
Here is the video we shared. Grab a tissue!

Fundraising Efforts
We are in the process of planning fundraising efforts. We are working with a wonderful organization called Lifesong for Orphans (http://www.lifesongfororphans.org/). They will be partnering with us to administer the funds received on our son's behalf. In addition, they have granted us a $5,000 interest-free loan.
We will be sending out fundraising letters to our family and friends that are out-of-state. For our friends locally, mark your calendars for March 20. We will be putting together a concert with local Christian artists and bands.
We are in need of approximately $32,000 to complete the adoption. We have paid $10,000 towards the adoption and are anxious to see how God will provide the rest.
