May 2016 Updates

Here are a few of the things that happened in May:
  • We completed another clothing drive in April which earned $200.
  • We completed our dossier (FINALLY!) after what seemed like FOREVER!
  • We applied for more adoption grants.
  • We received notification that we received $3,000 grant from Show Hope. This is the organization founded by Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman.  (Interesting side note:  We were one of the the very first recipients of their adoption grants in 2002 for our very first adoption.  It was not even a formal foundation yet.  We were even invited to go and meet SCC, spend the day with him and give our testimony on a nationwide KLOVE broadcast!  This was in September of 2003, so I doubt any of you remember that! But we sure do!  What an honor and privilege to express our gratitude in person. God is such a good Father and delights in spoiling us from time to time.)
  • We also received notice that we received $1,000 from Wood Chapel Foundation which is located in Lees Summit, Missouri and is only for adoptive families within 150 mile radius of Lees Summit.
  • God has now provided over $12,000 towards our goal of $47,000!
Please continue to pray that we are fully funded before we travel.  We anticipate to travel sometime in October.

We are still $35,000 away from our goal, but GOD IS FAITHFUL!  He has always taken care of us and always will!

Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
