  2. oh my oh my! You are the mouthpiece of God today! Thank you!
    What a very real reminder that God is enough…it is already done!
    I could weep!
    yes!
    We are $15,000 away and that number seems so daunting I just can’t imagine it overcome but GOD has already made a way, even if it is not a way I can see just now!
    Thank you!
    I would like to copy this with a link back…so my blog friends can read this.
    LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
    May the Lord continue to be glorified in adoptions all over the world. He truly delights in setting the lonely into families and making a way where there seems to be no way!
    Please Father, continue to burden hearts, remove scales from our eyes, open our ears and grow our faith!
    Blessings,
    Holly

  3. Yay! What a blessing it was to come across your blog today! We are currently in the early stages of an international adoption from Ethiopia! From the get-go we knew that fundraising would have to be a route we’d take because with my hubby being a teacher and me a stay at home mom… our finances alone could never swing it (I take that back.. maybe we could swing it- but it would take us 20 some odd years!)! God is blessing our socks off and we are humbled and amazed at how He is using so many people to accomplish His story in our lives already! We actually just mailed in our frist BIG check to our agency today and watched the savings account dwindle back down to almost nothing- big breath. BUT… we are confident that He’ll bring in what’s needed for the next amount due as long as we do our part in getting creative! If you are willing to add our button that would be awesome, if not I totally understand! Of course at this point- any way to get the word out there and share what God is doing in our lives and what He’s called us to do, would be great! Like I said, we are just in the begging stages and we’re so excited to faithfully watch and see how God provides! Because after all, He does fund His callings! Amen!

  4. Oh WOW! I agree mouth piece of God today! I was JUST coming over here looking for some encouragement on fundraising, I did not realize there would be a whole blog dedicated to it! Thank you LORD! I so needed this!

  5. If I could hug you I would! WOW! Words of wisdom and truth….. and the deep truth of… “It’s Already Done!” I can not begin to tell you how that ministers to me…. you are right! Thank You Jesus!
    God’s speed…. and to God be the glory!

  6. I reallyl enjoyed your post. Thank you so much for sharing your heart. My husband and I are awaiting acceptance into our agency’s Ethiopia program. This is our first adoption and we will be fundraising. IT IS ALREADY DONE, these 4 words are so very comforting to me.

    Blessings to you and your family

  7. thanks for this great post! i “stumbled” upon it in a very providential way today because i definitely needed some encouragement!! my husband and i are waiting to receive a referral for a little one from ethiopia any day now, and still have about $14,000 to raise. YIKES! anyways, thanks for reminding me that God will fund what He favors. i’m holding tight to that today 🙂

  8. Oh, this is so so so so good. We had such a difficult financial experience during our journey and this particular area was the hardest to surrender control and expectations over. I only wish sites like this and the gazillion charitable orgs that are out there giving money away were on my radar back then. I’m standing in faith and trusting that our next journey will be different. I know I will be. 🙂
