Kingsland Baptist Church | Tapestry Adoption Ministry

Wow! What can happen in less than 1 year in Church Orphan Ministry!...

January 2009 - Senior Pastor Alex Kennedy shares a "state of Kingsland" sermon expressing his desire for Kingsland Baptist Church to focus on Adoption & Orphan Care

Since then...

1. Within a few weeks of that sermon, a significant amount of funds were contributed by congregation in response to sermon...those funds were allocated for Kingsland Church Adoption Fund that Lifesong administers.

2. Pastor Alex and his wife Christy feel called & begin the process to adopt a child domestically in the state of Texas.

3. Patrick McCrory, Robin Espey and an entire team at Kingsland begin to form the "Tapestry Adoption Ministry", providing resources like:  Adoption Fund, Guiding families thru Domestic & International Adoption process, CPS and Foster Care information, Post-Adoption Services, and debunking Common Myths.

4. November 1, 2009 - Pastor Alex preaches on the "Gift of Adoption" including the theology of adoption

And check out this fun "Tapestry Adoption Corner" they've created in a main hallway to create a culture of adoption @ Kingsland!

Dr. Karyn Purvis explains the I.D.E.A.L. response for parents when dealing with their children in various situations, especially those involving poor choices or misbehavior by a child.

Our hope and prayer is simple: that parents and ministry leaders will find these resources relevant and helpful and will share them with others, all in order that parents can better connect with their children to help them heal and become whole."

Thank you...

We recently received the following note from Paul and Melissa Barth -

Dear Lifesong family,

I wanted to share an update and a picture of our daughter Ellie. Ellie was adopted in 2005 largely with help from an adoption grant through Lifesong. She has cerebral palsy and was just able to crawl on her stomach at the age of three when she joined our family. Recently she took her first steps (while holding onto the furniture) unaided by anyone else. The joy and pride she took in that accomplishment was even bigger than her grin.

I thought of Lifesong last spring when Ellie prayed with me asking Christ to be the center of her heart. Her passionate "I LOVE you God" were the most beautiful words I've heard. Thank you again for the gift of my child and for saying yes to God's call to help those who are helpless."
