Changed Lives...

"One Sunday during the 2007 football season, our oldest daughter Ryan blessed our ‘hot wings halftime meal’ with a prayer. ‘Dear God, even if my parents keep saying that they have to think about it… please show them their calling to adopt’. Wow, we thought we were thanking God for the wings!”

"I used to hate adoption..."

 

"I used to hate adoption.

And then God, through infertility, miscarriage, and tow little boys in a Russian orphanage, changed my understanding of the gospel, of mission, and of myself.

We're hosting a conference on adoption entitled, 'Adopting for Life,' to take place February 26-27, 2010, in Louisville. You may wonder whether this will be a conference about the doctrine of adoption or 'real' adoption. Well, one of the things that we'll be discussing is the fact that you can't talk about the one without talking about the other.

We've invited great speakers to 'Adopting for Life' who will seek to equip us to create a culture of doption in our families and churches. We'll be answering questions like 'What does adoption have to do with the Great Commission?', 'How can I pay for adoption?', and 'How can we start an adoption ministry in my church?'

I would love to see you at 'Adopting for Life', as we think together about how God might be leading us to be on mission with Christ for the sake of the orphans of the world."
