Fundraising Time

God is doing miraculous things as we walk through this adoption. I marvel at the timeline of this past month alone: getting our I797 approval from USCIS then getting our docs off to China and then receiving our speedy log in date all in a 9-day span! That has God’s fingerprints all over it.  When it comes to the expenses for this adoption we know God will do amazing things as well.  He already has.  The fees are definitely out of our league.  But we trust in God who is in a league all of His own.  The Bible story that comes to mind is Jesus and the loaves and fishes.  He took that boy’s lunch and fed 5,000 people.   I believe He can take our loaves and fishes and bring Melody home.  

Here is what we have to offer:

Fundraiser #2: Michelle’s Music for Melody!

 My wonderful friend Michelle Endicott has generously donated 100 copies of her 1^st CD to us so we can sell them to help raise money for our adoption fees.  THANK YOU MICHELLE!  Michelle is a very gifted singer/songwriter.  She began writing songs for her children when they were very young and has been doing it ever since.  Her songs are lively, bubbly and catchy!  It makes for great listening in the car!  Remember the holidays are coming and it's a perfect gift for moms with young kids, homeschooling families, Sunday school teachers or just anyone who has a child like heart for Jesus! 

The suggested donation amount for each “God’s Got A Plan For Me” CD is $5!

You can send the check to
