God has been moving in the hearts of so many of his people and it is just awesome. At least five families in our church over the past couple of months have made the decision to adopt! We are praying for each of these families and asking for the Lord's provision! How awesome will it be on Sunday morning to have the nursery filled with children from all over the world who now have safe homes and loving parents! Heather and I are thrilled to see God move this way and we are excited to see how He provides.
We are also excited for the start of February. I will be traveling to Montana with our missions pastor to speak at a pastors conference about the over 6,900 people groups who have not been reached with the Gospel Message. We pray God will move the hearts of these men to lead their churches to take up the great commission not only among their own communities but among the nations as well!
While I am in Montana, Heather and the boys will be with her sister in Murphy. There they are planning our first "Adoption Party". Heather and her sister have invited friends from around Murphy to come over for dinner so they can share about our efforts to adopt. After dinner Heather will have items to sale that she has made or that our really awesome friends and family have donated. Its a great opportunity to get together with people to share about our God and the need for adoption as well as a fun chance to get creative and raise money too!
Praying God will be glorified in every way as He leads us on this journey.
