Day 11: Matthias for the Mitchell Family… Forty to Forever…

Day 11 at Forty to Forever – help the Mitchell Family bring Matthias home!! We almost named Tobias, Matthias – both names mean God is Good! And indeed God is Good! But you are his hands and feet, so please go over and help the Mitchells.

AlvinI am so excited to share this wonderful family with you today!  The Mitchell family first began their adoption for a little boy named Adam.  They were almost fully funded and doing well in fundraising to bring their son home.

Adam is not in a good orphanage.  He is almost 6 years old and weighs just 16 pounds.

Day 8: Allen for the Jakubauskas Family… Forty to Forever…

Today we are rallying for little Allen whom the Jakubauskas family already consider one of their own. He’s waiting for them to back and bring him home. They are travelling soon. Please go over to Forty to Forever and help them raise those last amounts they need.
Today’s Lent Devotion focuses on whether or not the thing we fast from is for our own good or is it really making us look to Jesus… have a read and think about it… syc

We had difficulty getting pregnant and talked about adoption many times during the three years before we were able to conceive. God used this time to start to prepare our hearts for the journey to come. Fast forward a few years and after having 4 children in 8 years we were not thinking about adopting, we were just trying to survive!  At that time a precious family in our Sunday School class brought their daughter Meribeth home from Columbia, and then started working to bring Chrissie home from Serbia. We marveled at the way God worked in each of their adoptions and wondered if we would ever see God working in our lives that powerfully. Little did we know the adventure He had planned for us!
