Coffee for Orphans

God gave me a nudging and a plan for being a resource to others regarding His precious, family-less children. Eric and I, this Friday (9/24 @ 7:00pm), are hosting Coffee for Orphans in our home! Locals in the Nashville area, let me know if you're interested (I'll send the address privately). And if you can't make it this time, suggest a night you'd be free next time!

Invitation details:

Our sweet Dorothy has been home nearly a year now. She has touched so many lives in the time she's been here- possibly even yours!

Maybe you've wondered how you could "do something" to help the millions of orphans around the world... Maybe you've imagined what it would be like to adopt but you have lots of questions... Maybe you simply want information about great organizations to partner with to aid the fatherless near and far...

Please join us for an intimate coffee and dessert night in our home where we plan to equip you with information, be an open book, answer the tough questions, and invite you to join us in helping the fatherless around the world! You will leave with hope, knowing you can Be the Change for One!

This is an Orphan Night and not adoption night- there's something for everyone! In fact, some of the biggest needs exist for orphans who will never have the opportunity to be adopted! Adoption is just one part of the picture- the one we have the most experience with- but just one part.

Some of the topics covered:
-child sponsorship and feeding programs
-how to advocate for an orphan
-"Host an Orphan" programs
-adoption (basic process, how to pay for it, bonding concerns etc.)
-fundraising, for yourself or other adoptive families

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress- James 1:27
