For those of you reading my blog from Linny here is a little history. I am the mom to five children, ranging in age from five to 24. Our youngest four are adopted, all domestically. We have felt for some time the call to International adoption. Our oldest son has just returned from a 10 week mission trip with an organization called Come Let's Dance. While there, he found a sweet little boy named Emmanuel that had been found abandoned on the streets in Uganda. We feel that God has placed Emmanuel in our lives, and we are currently in the process of raising money to bring him home. There is another little boy, Ephraim, whom our Children's Pastor and his wife are also working on bringing home. We are working together to bring the boys home together.
Well, about 10% of the funds needed to bring Ephraim and Emmanuel home! That means the home studies are paid for!!! This has come in without too much hoopla. The march is about to kick into full gear. We have a yard sale planned for May 27 and 28. We also have wrist bands ordered that should be in some time next week. Our church's women's group has a silent auction/dinner scheduled for the first Sunday in July. We're praying that we will have the majority of the funds raised by that time, and we can use that for travel expenses.
If anyone has any ideas for fundraisers, we are open to suggestions.
We have a couple more pictures of our little man. In some pictures, he looks so big, and others, he looks so little and vulnerable. I'm ready for him to be home! I know, patience...
Please continue to pray with us as we work to bring Emmanuel and Ephraim home.
Above is a picture of Ephraim whom the Myers family is working on bringing home.
