Wow!  We are humbled by the outpouring of your generosity. We are celebrating that after one month of promoting our We Care for Orphans/Lifesong matching grant we have raised $2,500 of our $3,000 match!  We are almost there!  Lifesong will continue to leave our account open even once we reach our goal.   They will reimburse expenses from our adoption (up to the entire cost of the adoption), if donations continue, until our adoption is finalized and Boaz is home. 

 

We have also been blessed with a $4,500 grant from ShowHope (the letter received, in the week full of blessings post)! 

 

 

 

After the adoption is complete, M’s employer will also pay up to $4000 in expenses. We are extremely overwhelmed as we watch how God is (through many of you) financially providing for us.

 

Where does that put us to date?

 

 We have paid: $11,984.

 

Grants/Donations: $12,650

 

Just Love Coffee Sales: $556

 

Remaining Balance: $9810

 

 

Ok enough about money!  If you would, please continue to pray. So far our faith and obedience seems to be constantly challenged as God uses this long and expensive process to refine us as a family, as a couple, and as individuals.  The Ethiopia program referral times seemingly continue to grow longer. We are confident this is exactly where we are to be, but we are unsure of all of the steps along the way. Pray that we are a reflection of Christ, grow as parents and keep learning during the wait!
