God the Farmer

My heart is heavy for my sons today. Can you imagine if your child was taken from you, put in a foreign land far away, in need of food and medical care and love? You would go to the ends of the earth for that child. You would shout it from the rooftops, asking whoever you could find to help you get them home. That's where our hearts are. We have loved these boys as our own for two years. We long to touch them and hear their voice and feed them and love them with all our hearts. God always partners humans together to change the world. No one can do it alone. God partners the willing with the able. We are willing to bring these children into our home, making it a household of 9. We are willing to love them and invest in them, send them to college and support them daily. We need others to partner with us who are able... able to give to pay the large expense of getting them here. Adoption internationally is expensive. We need help with the initial expense to get these boys home. God is just like a farmer. There is always a harvest to the seed that is planted. When you help plant a seed to bring these children into the safety of a home, God will bring a harvest into your life. Giving never goes unnoticed by God and we believe and pray your harvest will be 100-fold. There are many charities to give to in this world. What is so powerful about helping a child go from a parentless existence of poverty, sickness, oppression, and hopelessness, is that you get to see with your eyes what your investment accomplishes. You will see these children come home and join our family and you will see their lives transformed and saved. You will also be able to watch them in the community as they give back to others. There is no greater reward than to see a child find a family and blossom into an amazing young person. We have watched this happen with our little ones and with countless other former orphans who have been blessed to come home to a family. Are you able to help today? Are you able to buy a shirt or a hat from Ordinary Hero with 40% of your purchase going toward getting our boys home? Are you able to give $15 For the 15th Year, helping us get the boys home during our older son's 15th year before he ages out? Are you able to let me take your family portraits for $60 to raise money for our adoption? Maybe you are able to give a large amount to see these boys' lives completely transformed. Pray about what God would have you give today. Your seed, your gift will go into the ground and God will bring a great harvest into your life. You can never out give God! Thank you for praying for our adoption, for our boys, for our process. It is a long and hard road to the final moment they come home, but we are willing to walk that road. Are you able to equip us with what we need to walk it? These are pictures of Kolfe Orphanage...the dorms, the soccer field, the kitchen
