Day 36: Gage for the Earleywine Family… Forty to Forever…

Today at Forty to Forever, we are trying to help the Earleywine Family meet an important target – they need a few thousand dollars by month’s end so that they can continue with their adoption or they will lose their referral. Little Gage needs to come home, the place where he is at is not known for good care at all. Please help where you can.
Today’s Lent devotion is about something we all love – feasting… and shouting out. But not just any old type of shouting out – shouting out for and about our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ… have a read, think about how you will shout out during the Easter season… syc

Our Goal is to raise $400 for Gage… $305 to go! 

GageToday we are raising money for the Earleywine family who is in a very difficult position.  They need a few thousand dollars by the end of the month to continue with their adoption, or they will lose their referral.  Their son is in a notoriously bad orphanage and needs out!  Here is their story:

“We are a Christian, home-schooling family. We have been married for almost 15 years, and we have been blessed with 6 children ages 12 to4. We love children, and are excited to open our home and family to more children that need a loving family and the care that we can provide to them. I have several siblings who were adopted, and I can remember the joy it brought to my heart to add them to our family when I was growing up. My Husband, Jayson was himself adopted…

Children Learn by Imitation…

That is true, isn’t it? That’s how children learn… they watch mummy and daddy and they try to do the same… BUT… what if you had no mummy and no daddy to learn from? Then where or who do you learn from?

Emil longs for a loving family – are you that family?

Emil is one of those children without parents to teach him, yet in the harsh environment of institution living, somehow, he has learnt to be gentle, even when he has seen and known very little gentleness. Even though he is unable to speak, he shows his gentleness through his actions and he shows his desire for love and attention even more by hanging tightly onto a visitor’s finger.

It is his medical conditions which is the reason he is in an institution. He has Cerebral Palsy and Down Syndrome. Yet with a loving family, i know he will thrive and he will grow into a wonderful young man. He is already 13 years old. He has waited so very long to know love and the support of a caring family. Please help him so that he does not wait any longer, please help him so that he will know that he is valued and loved just for being himself.

Are you the family who could give Emil the opportunities he might otherwise never have? If yes, please be brave, step forward and find out more. Contact Reece’s Rainbow.

You can also help by sharing his story far and wide so that his forever family might find him.

Another way is to give towards his very small adoption grant so that his forever family does not waste time looking for funds but can go get him as soon as possible. Please click on his name or picture to get to his profile page to donate.

Praying for him is the other way you can help him. Please do pray that his daily needs are met and that his forever family finds him real soon, because he will age out in a little over 2 years’ time.

Thank you.

Day 35: Libby for the Vanchura Family… Forty to Forever…

Today at Forty to Forever we are supporting a very special family… the Vanchuras are bringing Libby home. But they were originally supposed to bring Mac home but laws in his home country changed and it has left his adoption hanging. The Vanchuras have chosen not to be idle but to continue the work God has given them and to give another little sweetheart the love she so richly deserves… please help them meet those last expenses to bring her home…
Today’s Lent Devotion is so appropriate just after Palm Sunday… it speaks about praising God and how the Psalms are a great help and suggest that we make praise a part of our daily devotions… so go over have a read and get praising… syc

Our Goal is to raise $400 for Libby… $118 to go! 

Today we were supposed to be raising money for Vanessa for the Abell family.  This time is bittersweet for so many reasons.  It is bitter because Vanessa’s adoption has had to be put on hold until Russia reopens to international adoption.  It’s tragic, because Vanessa must now still wait for her family… so much longer than is necessary.  No child should have to wait to be loved.  Heartbreakingly bitter… but it is also sweet.  God turns even the worst situations into opportunity for great good.

The Abell family was gracious in their time of grief.  They chose to bless another family while their adoption is temporarily on hold.  The Vanchura family also understands the pain of needing to give their child into the hands of God while they wait for their son’s country to reopen.  They are also allowing…
