God loves cheerful giving, so do we


2 Corinthians 9:7-8
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart
to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God
loves
a cheerful giver. And God is able to make
all grace abound
to you, so that in all things
at all times,
having all that you need,
you will
abound in every good work.

The cost of adopting Ramiah is going to be around $20,000. We are steadfastly refusing to worry about this, even though it is roughly half of what we make annually. We believe God called us to this. We trust that he will work out the details. We are working hard to further restrict our budget, applying for adoption grants, and considering other sources of income. We are even prepared, if need be, to spend the next several years working hard to pay off any debt we may incur. We will do whatever we have to do. Giving a child a home and a chance at life is worth it.

You can help, if you so choose. God is rescuing an orphan, and you can be a part of that work, if you so choose. There is a link at the right that will bring you to a web-site where you can make a tax-deductible donation. If, the tax-deduction is not a concern for you, I'd ask that you contact us directly. That is, if you have decided in your heart to give.
