Matching opportunity!

Greetings! We are so amazed at the generosity that has been shown us so far as we have been trying to fund our adoption. God has been providing through His people, and we have only $10,000 left to raise to complete our adoption. This is still a big number, but a matching grant we have a chance to receive could cut that big old number in half!

We are so thankful to have been given an adoption matching grant for $2500 from Legacy 685 (a ministry of Houston First Baptist Church), who partners with Lifesong for Orphans. The goal is to raise the entire amount by December 31st, 2015. However, funds will be accepted until the adoption is complete. Legacy 685/Lifesong will match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $2500, meaning we have the possibility of raising $5000!

Would you consider helping us bring our daughter home by donating? We know that so many of you have already contributed (and we are so thankful for you by the way!), so there is no need to feel like you need to give again. No guilt trips here, folks! Although we would still appreciate your prayers...(-: If you would like to help us be able to claim the matching grant here's how:

    •    Checks should be payable to “Lifesong for Orphans". In the memo, note “family name” and “family account number” (Freerks / #5659) to assure it goes to the correct account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744. Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all U.S. administrative and fund-raising costs (TMG Foundation and other partners). That means 100% of your donation will go directly to the adoption.
    •    To pay online go to www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate. Select “Give to an Adoptive Family.” Complete the online form and fill in “Family Account Number” and “Family Name” fields. Note PayPal charges an administrative fee (2.9% + $.30 USD per transaction). Your donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee.
    •    In following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the named non-profit organization. This organization retains full discretion over its use, but intends to honor the donor’s suggested use. Individual donations of $50 or more and yearly donations totaling $250 or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Receipts for donations under $50 will gladly be sent upon request. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.

Thank you for considering investing in God's Kingdom in this way. We desire above all to honor and glorify God through this wild journey and would love for you to join us!

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
