Miracles in Montgomery...
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 8:00AM Cole & Joy Portis, parents of 7 and orphan advocates are often asked, "Do you love them differently"...
I explained that while they are not my flesh and blood they ARE my children! They had my love before I ever met them! They didn't have to earn it or prove that they were a good "fit" for our family! Whatever the future holds....good, bad, ugly...they are MY children and my love for them is equal and unconditional."
The Portis family attends Morningview Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL where they played a crucial role in starting a Church Adoption Fund. They were also recently featured in the Montgomery Living Magazine.
Morningview hosts an Institute of Theology (MIT) program each semester where attendees can earn a lay-theology training certificate.
Food for thought:
- This church is dedicated to educating believers in order to be firmly rooted in the Gospel...
- This family felt God's calling on their life to adopt... over and over...
- Are you willing to step out in faith as they have?
