Now that we're getting the word out that we've decided to adopt we'd like to ask each of you to join us on this journey. I can speak from personal experience that something changes inside of you when you move from just hearing or reading about someone's adoption journey and actually take part in it. Suddenly, you become invested in the process-the journey-and you care about the outcome.
A simple way to join us is to pray. It's just that easy. "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."--Matthew 21:22
Another way you can take part in this process is by participating in one of our fundraising efforts. You'll see along the right side of the blog two "buttons" that are links to online stores that we are using to assist us raising some money.
The first one, Ordinary Hero, is a nonprofit, 501c3, child advocacy organization. Their goal is to encourage and provide a way for every person to make a difference in the life of a child in need, through adoption, missions, or local outreach. They also strive to bring worldwide, public awareness to the orphan crisis. They believe every child needs a hero, wants a hero, and is looking for a hero. We believe that hero is you!
By clicking on the OH button, you will be directed to the fundraising store. Simply select some fun and fashionable gear for yourself and your family and select my name from the drop down list under "affiliate" during the check-out process. Forty percent of every purchase will be sent to our agency and put directly toward our adoption costs!
The second "button" will direct you to the website for Wild Olive Tees. You MUST check out these adorable women's and children's tees---so cute! Not only are these t-shirts awesome, but you will be spreading the Word of God just by wearing them!! A win-win! In order for us to receive a portion of each t-shirt sale, you FIRST need to shop the Adoption Fundraiser Tees. These are designed especially for us fundraising folk! Again, during the check-out process simply enter our "family code" HORKEN719 to ensure we receive the credit!
We would greatly appreciate your support throughout this process-whether through prayer or by purchasing and wearing our fundraising apparel. Many thanks and happy shopping!!
Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build-up) one another, just as you are doing.--- 1 Thessalonions 5:11
