James 1:27 exhorts us to care for the orphans and widows.
The exhortation is given to all Christians, but what that looks like lived out is different for everyone. Some are called to adopt! Some are called to encourage and visit, investing time! Some are called to support monetarily!

Please know that we have appreciated all of your prayer support and are grateful for the many who have invested time and money of your own in a young man's life who you did not know. We hope you will meet him some day soon. He will never know the amount and sacrifice made on his behalf, but I pray he will feel and truly know the love and acceptance from you! God bless!

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

God is providing, and we are so grateful and excited!  There are only 3 days left in which to enter the 2 raffles for the beach house and camera.  We will draw at 9 pm Thursday night.  The college group Bible study meets that night at our home, so we will  draw at the end of our evening!

In addition to what shows up on the "chip-ins", we have $225 more in the raffles (that have been purchased in person), and we have had a $700 cash gift!  Praising God!

Also a note of clarification.  There are not 2 different orphanage donations.  We did not plan the wording very well on the chip-ins.  There is one orphanage donation of $5000, and both raffles are going toward that amount.  We live and learn as we go....and I am sure that will  continue.  Life's journey is like that, but God does not change and for that we are THANKFUL!
