Welcome Grace

Monday, February 6, 2012

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to our church at Grace Fellowship!  This week we have been overwhelmed by the love and generosity that some people have showed in wanting to get the word out in the church concerning Judah.

First, I’ve been involved in a women’s bible study on Tuesday nights.  We have been doing Beth Moore’s “Mercy Triumphs” which is a study of the book of James.  Every week we have a different challenge to do as sort of a community service project.  This week a list of needs of Judah’s orphanage was handed out and they are going to begin gathering items for us to takes with us when we go to be able to bless everyone there.

Then today began a month long campaign in Rush hour (children’s church) where they will be learning about adoption, Africa and Judah.  Emma and Jackson got up and spoke to the children at both services today excitedly telling all the kids about their new brother.  This is such an amazing thing that our friend Lauren put together for us because she believes in adoption and believes in us.  I have no words to describe how much it means to us that Judah is building so many friends and relationships even before he comes here and that is going to make such a huge difference in his tough transition into American life.

The love that we have experienced both at Grace and from our former church I know have to be making our Father in heaven proud of His children.  Thank you, thank you, thank you all for being the hands and feet here on Earth!
