ABBA FUND

Many of our friends and family have asked how we could afford 4 adoptions in 5 years and the truth is that it is a strain to be able to come up with all the needed funds in such a short time frame. God has blessed us in amazing ways and He has given us His assurance that what He has called us to do He will provide for us to be able to do. The last few months have certainly stretched our faith as we paid a big round of fees in December when we sent our paperwork to China and then another big round just one month later when our Letter of Acceptance came from China. And the past few weeks there have been US filing fees and visa fees. And now we wait for the US final approvals so that China can issue travel approval in the next 6-8 weeks and then we will need the $10,600 donation to the 2 orphanges as well as all the airline and hotel costs. So after much prayer we decided to send in an application to the ABBA Fund which grants interest-free loans to adoptive families to help with the upfront costs of bringing children home. It was a humbling experience asking for help, but we trust that God will use this to His glory. Please pray that they can help us or that God will provide in some other way so that we will not have to delay travel to bring our sons home. Thank you for your prayers for our family!
