Fundraising update

Phase one of our fundraising is behind us! Due to the generosity of family, friends, and strangers we quickly breezed through phase one and raised $8500. We are currently chipping away at phase two. We have raised $1500 of the $8000 needed to fund phase two. We are working hard. We invested about one hundred and fifty hours in our yard sale. We have about six weeks before we need to pay the phase two bills. As soon as we complete phase two, we will begin fundraising for phase three. The estimate for phase three is $16,000. Phase three is needed just before we travel to China to bring Nick home. We are praying that will be in November. Today's balance to complete Nick's adoption is about $23,000. I know all things are possible for him who believes. Please continue to pray for God's provision. I have no clue as to how we can raise the remaining funds. The exciting part of the fundraising is being in a position to watch God work. We will have round two of the yard sale this weekend, we still have about 195 puzzle pieces to sell, and we are working on some adoption grants. Those are all the tricks that I have up my sleeve:) This is the third time that we have stepped out in obedience and adopted internationally. God has always provided the funds in some way. The first adoption was completely paid for about two years after it was completed and the second about three years after it was completed. It is our prayer that this adoption will be funded before we board the plane to China. We are praying for a funding miracle but are willing to take on a long term payment plan if that is what it takes to get Nick home. If God has blessed you with more than your daily bread, please pray fully consider sharing a portion of that to help us bring our son home. Tax deductable donations can be made to Living Hope Adoption agency.
