Why Kingdom Kids?

I'm sure by now, everyone has gotten their Christmas card from us and was accosted by all of the inserts in our card. Sorry about that! We wanted to combine our Christmas card with the letter we had to send out for our adoption--cost effective!

Did we really want to send you all of the different inserts? Did we really want to send you a letter asking for support with our adoption? No, not really, but yet we recognize that if we don't tell you we have a need, how can you help? International adoption is costly, but God has given us a heart for orphans and we feel that for us, our part in the plight of the orphan is to give them a family. Yet, we do not believe that God wants us to go into debt to do it. We could easily put all of these mounting costs onto a credit card, but we don't feel that is wise. Instead, we've stepped out in faith and are amazed to see how God has a large bank account and meets us with each financial need along the way. Often we are surprised. Now I'm at a point where I am sit back in awe but am no longer surprised. Why should I be? He delights to pour his blessings on those who believe Him--not just believe IN Him. We please Him when we understand that faith without action is worthless.

So why Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries? We wanted to provide a place for friends and family to make tax-deductible donations on behalf of our daughter--a place where they can give to us and be assured that it is being used for our adoption. We are trustworthy--I fear the Lord would strike us with lightening if we were not good stewards with His money, yet we understand that sometimes it just feels safer when we give money to an organization rather than directly to people. No worries, we understand, that's why we've set up this account at Kingdom Kids.

There's no pressure from us, but if God lays it on your heart to give toward our daughter, please either contact us or go to the Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries website and it will tell you how to give towards our family. Thanks so much, friends and family, every act of help whether it be physical or financial is a vote of your confidence in us and we are grateful that you believe in us!
