$11,000 Birthday Gift!!!


Here is the video to Suzanne's birthday surprise! The card that she read at the beginning told her..."you have impacted so many people who want to share in the joy of your birthday! We know that you are changing the world one heartbeat at a time...making history with every touch and ever smile. You may not see it now but we believe that time will tell how you are changing the world one heartbeat at a time." So, we wanted to allow you to do something on your birthday that you LOVE..share your gift with someone else. Want to bring an orphan home to Nashville? We knew you would!

THANK YOU...to the 165 families who gave $11,000 in 5 days!! We serve an amazing God who does amazing things through our ordinary lives.

Oh, Suzanne, can you imagine your life without your Ethel? or is she the Lucy?

I have cried with you, and been amazed at how much our Mighty God loves orphans. I'm sorry I've been so busy with paperchasing and fundraising that I didn't get in on the fun.

But, I have to update you. After showing you the photo of our son-to-be at Vikki's house the Friday before the Love the Least Conference, God has done such miracles. Following Suzanne's break out session on fundraising adn Abby Akridge's reminder that, "The foolishness of God is wiser than man," Stan and I committed to him.

And, now we have PA for TWO precious sons in China. We began fundraising the first of December and today have just shy of $9,000 already.

Thank you for the inspiration you are to others. Thank you for 147 Million Orphans, allowing families to sell products for fund adoption.

God is AWESOME!
