"I Can Help One" Event Success Stories

Our big orphan event in May was a huge success!  Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to help put the event together.  Also, thanks to those who PRAYED!!!

We had over 140 people attend the event.  To God be the glory!

Here are some of the amazing results:
  • At least 3 couples committed to seeking God's will for adoption
  • 7 sponsorships for financial support for an orphan through "I Can Provide for One"
  • 18 people writing letters to orphans through "I Can Pen Pal One"
  • 38 prayer sponsors for orphans through "I Can Pray for One"
  • Several donations to Lifesong for Orphans totalling $1,200
  • Sold $300 of Caroline's Promise fair trade items; funds go directly to orphan projects
  • Sold all the Gobena fair trade coffee; 100% of funds go directly to orphan projects
  • Andy and Sharon talked to a number of people about Post Adoption Support
  • Jeff and his team (Mark, Dick and Brian) led an awesome prayer vigil as part of a national Foster Care prayer event
