Last-minute ways to impact a child's life this year!

As we wrap up 2012, I wanted to give you some tangible ways you can make a difference for four children waiting to be adopted by families in our local church congregation (Brookhaven Wesleyan). Obviously, once January 1 comes, you are still very much able to donate to any of these children's adoption expenses, but I thought I'd share one last chance for those of you who may yet be looking for that year-end giving opportunity. Here is a glimpse at each child/family and how you can make a tax-deductible contribution to each child:

Dale and Carrie Bradford: Planning to adopt Megan from Russia
Visit Dale and Carrie's blog here to read the Bradfords' story and to make a tax-deductible donation on the right-hand side to Megan's adoption through Reece's Rainbow, a down syndrome adoption ministry. Please pray, pray, PRAY for sweet Megan and for all children waiting for adoption in Russia as adoptions from the U.S. have just been put on hold by the government. So many children in need of families--please take a moment to pray specifically for Satan's power to be overthrown.

Trey and Bridgette Boswell: Planning to adopt Edna from Eastern Europe
Visit Bridgette's blog here to read the Boswells' story and to make a tax-deductible donation on the right-hand side to Edna's adoption, also through Reece's Rainbow. The Boswells are following the Lord's leading into adoption for a second time, as little Edna will join big brothers Trenner and Solomon. Please pray for the Boswells as they renew their home study, gather funding, and prepare for travel. Please pray for Edna's health needs as well as she awaits her family to care for her needs.

Ben and Melissa Cook: Planning to adopt from U.S.
We do not have a giving link for the Cooks, but wanted to remind you to continue praying for them and consider donating to their adoption as well. They are answering God's call to care for a little one in the United States in need of a family!

Daniel and Mae: Planning to adopt minority infant from U.S.
Remember to pray for us as well :-). 2012 has brought plenty of "setbacks" in our timeline, but we know God's timing is perfect! If you wish to make a tax-deductible gift to our adoption, please visit our AdoptTogether fund page here.

Please remember to pray for each family, and as the Lord leads, consider giving financially to help bring these children into safe, loving families. Thank you for your involvement in the lives of children in 2012! We pray 2013 will bring great things for these little ones.
