Adoption of Faith...

Aaron & Gwen, one of our adoptive couples, recently brought home little Tariku from Ethiopia.  Listen in with us, as they share part of their story...

"We started the adoption process because our hearts broke for the orphan child.  There are so many children with no hope and no love...We had the choice to step out in faith or just ignore God.  We chose to follow.  This decision has changed our lives, and our faith has grown, our relationship with God is stronger, and our marriage is better.  God does reveal Himself, we just need to be still and be willing to listen and to follow Him, no matter the cost."

Thanks Aaron, Gwen & family for partnering with us in your adoption journey.  We pray that God will continue to bless your lives with joy and prace because of your active obedience to His call!

Pure religion in a picture...

Josh and Jenn recently brought home their two darling children from Ethiopia.  Lifesong was blessed to be able to partner with them along with the Louisville Orphan Care Initiative in providing them with a matching grant.

Take a glance with us into their lives as they live out James 1:27 in a very real and active way...

The Lord has given us the privilege of developing a relationship over the last few years with a 93 year old widow at our church named Geneva. I visit Geneva every other week at her home, and we pray at the end of our time together. I've often been struck by the beauty of her prayers for our children, and thought at those times about how God's Word tells us that He cares for the widows and the orphans. It's especially sweet for me to be part of seeing a widow care for orphans too!

   

Thanks Josh & Jenn for being a pure picture of the gospel to the world...we pray that those that see your life will see the light of Jesus and be drawn in by His love. 

God WILL Make a Way!

At last our amazing children are with us! When we pulled through the gate at their orphanage, a nanny came running out and hugged me as soon as I got out of the van. She was saying, “You came, you came, you did come!” Our children came running followed by all the other kids at the orphanage. We hugged and kissed each other. They called us ‘Mama’ and ‘Daddy’. It is so very clear that God has been preparing their little hearts to be our children!”

It was 13 months ago that James and Tracy Mihnovich accepted the referral for these 4 precious children knowing that God called them and that He would provide the way! When they adopted their son Levi 2 ½ years ago, they knew that with all the orphans in the world there was no way that they could not adopt again... 

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young...

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

What a sweet reminder from 6 year old, Siena Medefind! She sent her birthday money to Lifesong for the orphans in Ethiopia!

Siena - May the Lord continue to work in your heart... and may the world be a different place because of your generosity! Thank you so much and Happy Birthday!

We are so excited that you are all safely home...

Dear Lifesong,

My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your concern and support of our recent adoption of two children from Ethiopia. When we originally applied for a matching grant from Lifesong, we had no idea that we would incur many unforeseen expenses. Your generous grant was an enormous blessing and help to us.

Thank you for your continued love and care for God's orphans in the world. We praise and thank God for your willingness to stand behind and aid families in their journey to provide homes to these precious children.

Sincerely,

The Coffman Family
