"All the men and women ...

... whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work ...



brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord."  Exodus 35:29

We saw an amazing financial outpouring among the 73 people who were gathered this evening in both gifts and pledges.  Honestly, we were totally humbled by the level of support we experienced on this evening.  Who are we to receive this kind of encouragement? 

We  saw an outpouring which is indicative of the lavish love that the Father has bestowed upon us that WE might become the sons and daughters of God, that WE might be adopted as His children.  This Father, who has adopted us into His family, gets all the glory for this evening.  This Father stirred the hearts of His people to give in a way that offers the world a picture of His passion for the fatherless and His care for us as we seek to live out James 1:27.

And yet we are well aware that the abundance offered through this group is indicative of the thousands around the world who have and continue to partner with us financially, in prayer, and in bringing other gifts before the Lord to advance His mission to bring Katya home.   We are so thankful!

We are so encouraged by those such as yourself, who are standing alongside us.  By reading this blog, forwarding it to family and friends, praying as you read, leaving comments, etc. you are partnering with us.  We are so blessed to not be alone in this journey.  Thank you SO MUCH!
