Insights & Gifts Video Series

It's so incredible to see the Body of Christ responding to a need... a need to equip parents... a need to bring healing to hurting hearts!

As we are answering the call to adopt, we need to understand that most of the children that God will bring into our lives through adoption will have deep hurts and needs. Therefore, part of our call is to be prepared to be used by God to help this child heal. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest joys, blessings and privileges of adoption – but it will not be easy. The resources and tools on ETC are designed to help those whom God is calling and has called to answer the call well. To know what to expect, to be ready and prepared and, ultimately, to help bring long-term healing to their child. It is precisely this kind of 'love in action' that I believe reflects what it means to be called by God to adopt."

-Michael Monroe, Irving Bible Church/Tapestry
