Lifesong India Update

Please enjoy an update on what's happening in Lifesong India:

 

  •  This Christmas was celebrated with a special dinner (pictured) to which the children were able to wear their new Christmas clothes.

The Value of Life... and a giveaway!

We feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to be a part of Sanctity of Life Sunday at Pontiac Bible Church in Pontiac, IL! Pastor Brian Bill delivered a phenomenal message focusing on the marginalized in our society, including the pre-born, the orphan, and the widow.

The congregation was clearly moved as Rev. Bill focused on having controlled mouths, compassionate hands, and clean hearts... the entirety of James 1:27. So often we focus on the 'orphans and widows' portion of this verse that defines pure religion, but leave out the part about keeping ourselves 'unstained by the world'. Pastor Bill truly tied all three pieces of this verse together so beautifully as he challenged the listeners to put their faith into action!

An attendee commented by saying, "I think we may have just changed the future of our church!"

As a window into the plight of the orphan, this fantastic video on Ethiopia was shared -

Check out the audio version of this sermon here.... we pray that you are challenged and moved to action!

Leave a comment about what you, your family, or your church did to take a stand for life, advocate for the marginalized, or pray for the oppressed on Sanctity of Human Life Sunday... and we'll enter you into a contest for a FREE t-shirt! :)

Church Adoption Funds!

As the Church becomes obedient to God’s commands concerning the fatherless, the community will see Jesus Christ is alive and working in the lives of His people to care for those children who can’t care for themselves.

Humbled... and amazed! 

Wow! What an incredible week we had...

We asked YOU, our supporters, to consider committing $28 per month for the next 12 months to support the children at the Master's Home of Champions in Liberia. These donations will cover food and water, and other necessities, such as coal, kerosene, toothpaste, bathing and laundry soup, and hair oil for children like Kemah, Quita, and Alvin.

So, we know you are anxious to hear... did we God meet our goal? No, we didn't... but God! God exceeded our goal! We had 74 commitments!

It was incredible to see families from all over the US working together to bring joy and purpose to the 100 children we serve in Liberia.

To our Lifesong families - wow, we are amazed at the commitment you are making in the midst of your own adoptions! Many of you have made such HUGE sacrifices and we're so blessed to serve alongside you.

To our church fund partners - not only are you committing to global orphan care, but you're serving the families in your church and community... you are truly an inspiration and encouragement to each of us!

To our longtime donors - you continue to amaze us as you 'see a need, meet the need' over and over! We could not continue to serve these children without you!

To our new donors - what a joy it is to see the Lord stir in your hearts to care for the fatherless. You are crucial to our ministry and we're excited to build relationships with each of you!

We are so excited to see what the Lord has in store and the lives He will change through the Master's Home of Champions in Liberia!

You don't want to miss this webinar!

How does an adoption fund fit with your church's mission/vision?

  • Evangelize the lost – Adoption is evangelism at its core…Bringing the mission field home, where children are loved, cared for, and discipled to know Jesus Christ as their Savior.
  • Edify the saved – Adoption Fund challenges, encourages, and enables Believers to put their faith in action, by stepping out in faith to adopt (fulfilling God’s commands in scripture).
  • Minister to those in need There are millions of children waiting for forever families who would like to adopt them, but just can’t because of the financial barrier.
  • Be a Conscience in the community –  As th e Church becomes obedient to God’s commands concerning the fatherless, the community will see Jesus Christ is alive and working in the lives of His people to care for those children who can’t care for themselves.
