Day 39: Johanna for the Dismuke Family… Forty to Forever…

Today at Forty to Forever we rally for the Dismuke family who are bringing home sweet Johanna. Their hearts have been broken as their first adoption is now stalled because that country has closed its doors. But they are still following God’s call and are now in the process of bringing Johanna home. Please help them.
Today’s Lent Devotion reminds us that there is a why to Good Friday and that it is the WHY we should be focussed on more than then how or what was done. Jesus had to bear the cross because we were, still am and always will be sinners before God… have a read, think about it and thank the Lord for all He has done… syc

Our Goal is to raise $400 for Johanna… $297 to go!

“My loving husband and I have been married for almost 8 years (has it really been that long?). We have two wonderful little girls who we cherish with all our hearts. In 2008, I started hinting to my husband that I wanted to adopt but he had many misconceptions of adoption (like only people who can’t have children adopt). So, I prayed and hinted A LOT that I wanted more children and I wanted them through adoption. You see, I had wanted to adopt children longer then I could remember. I wanted a child from every continent if God would allow it (well, that is what I thought when I was a teenager).

I prayed daily that God would open my husband’s heart…

Our Goal is to raise $400 for Marci… $198 to go! 

MarciMeet Marci! She is just over two years old and has recently learned to stand up on her own! Isn’t she the cutest thing? That soft baby hair and chubby little arms are too adorable! At some point in the last year Dana and his wife Kathy were introduced to Reece’s Rainbow and the special needs adoption community. They spent a great deal of time reading the information on Reece’s Rainbow and learning about the way the children featured on the site live. They both felt a tug at their heartstrings and began to advocate for these children through prayer and the Angel Tree program.

After seeing a great deal in the news about children and programs in Eastern Europe they began to investigate the needs and process for that area. As Kathy said: “The conditions described there weighed on our hearts and minds and we…

Our Goal is to raise $400 for Colton… $257 to go! 

10811130632-Colton-feb2012-1-300x236Colton is a sweet, two year old boy who has Down syndrome.  Isn’t he precious?  Please help us get this sweet boy home!  This is his family’s story…

Kyle and Kara met in 2004 and quickly fell in love. They were soon blessed with four beautiful daughters after that and live a blissfully busy life.  When Kara discovered Reece’s Rainbow, it was like a dream come true. She has always been called to orphans and especially the work of Mother Teresa, but didn’t know how to help. So, having a tangible way to advocate for these children was amazing. Kara spent months advocating for a sweet little redhead, Nico.  When she saw Nico’s face, and after a series of signs from The Lord,  ”someday” became “now.” Kyle wasn’t so sure, but after a while, and some more signs, he was on board too…
