Help us bring Emmanuel home!
As some of you may know, we have talked about adopting another child for some time now. We have received the paperwork to start the process twice, and have not followed through with it. We have felt that we were being called to international adoption, but perceived the cost as prohibitive. It appears God is now trying to stretch us. Michael has just spent about ten weeks in Uganda, and has found a precious little orphan who is in need of a home. His name is Emmanuel.
The following information was given to us about Emmanuel from the director of Mercy Childcare Ministries:
Emma has been with us since 2007. He was brought to us by the local authorities who found him abandoned in Nansana. The police tried to find out about his details but nothing was discovered. By then Emma was not social, he would not easily trust anyone, it seemed that he was earlier abused before he was abandoned. He used to wake up at night and cry and walk around the house. After like a year the lord changed him and he is now social, he knows that people around him love him and recently he started school.
We have the opportunity to bring Emmanuel home to join our family, but are totally dependant on God's miraculous provision to do so. We estimate the total cost of this adoption to be about $15,000. This is actually about 2/3 of what most international adoptions cost, but still much more than we can afford on our own. We feel like God is calling us to provide this precious child a home, and we will do everything we can, but we are totally dependent on outside financial support to make it happen. Any thing you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. May God bless you for your prayer and support!
Emmanuel (God with us) Tumwebaze (let us thank God)
