Orphan Care Ladies Night

Have we mentioned how much of a blessing our church is? Some great friends of ours helped to start an Orphan Care Ministry at our church. This was started to raise awareness of the need to care for orphans and give support. The ministry also started a fund that was set up through Lifesong that will match donations up to $500. The first orphan care meeting was this summer and just recently we had a ladies night. It was great getting to meet other women who are in the process of adopting. There were ladies who are at all stages of the adoption process, from a lady who has grown adopted children to people who are contemplating the adoption process. It was wonderful being able to share our hearts with each other. The next event will be for the ladies and gentlemen December 14th "Funding Your Adoption". It is so exciting to have a church filled with people who are passionate about sharing the gospel in the way of adoption. What a blessing!

On another note, if you are in the RDU area, come support some new friends, Jeremy and Tori Young, that are adopting two babies from Columbia. They are having a yard sale:

Yard Sale Blessings!

It's been a while since we posted.  Our first home-study went great.  Our case worker was able to get two visits done in one visit.  She was able do our home inspection as well as our first interview.  All that is left is for our individual interviews and for our case worker to interview our pastor.  Then she will be able to write up our home study.

We also had our Yard Sale to raise funds for the adoption.  We had so much help and support from our friends.  It was a crazy busy time.  We owe a super huge thank you to all who helped us.  Many people gave of their time and resources to help us.  Thank you everyone who gave of time, belongings, or came out and shopped with us.  Because of everyones contributions we were able to raise over $1300.  This is just another affirmation of God's faithfulness.
