SomeThings Creative: Homemade cheesecakes benefiting adoption and orphan care!
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights ..." James 1:17
From May 2008 when we submitted our application to America World Adoption Agency to be part of their Ethiopia program to the fall of 2011 when we first heard of MLJ Adoption Agency's Democratic Republic of the Congo program to June 2018 when we brought a little girl home from China through the America World program, the Lord continually called us on an amazing and crazy journey and we followed hard after His Plan A for us!!
One of the constants during the process was the sale of cheesecakes as a fundraiser. I remember thinking mid way through our ten years of home studies and paperwork and fundraising - even when we're done adopting, we'll still support adoption.
Well, our family is complete and I am pleased to announce that $5 from the sale of every cheesecakes will now be going to one of the four following organizations: 1. Gift of Adoption - adoption grant provider 2. Show Hope - adoption grant provider 3. Global Orphan Foundation's Bolingo Children's Care Village - working to revolutionize orphanages and the care of orphans in the DRCongo 4. America World's Bete Hosanna House - a group home for young ladies aging out of orphanages in Ethiopia Why these organizations? The first two on the list blessed us with adoption grants for both Danny and Mary's journey home and we are thrilled to be able to give back! The third and fourth are run by the two agencies we used to bring our four children home: America World and MLJ Adoptions. And Mike's employer has an employer matching gift program. So for every cheesecake you purchase, think of it as a $10 donation being made to one of the four amazing organizations answering God's call to care for the orphan!!
