Lifesong $3500 Matching Grant

On top of learning that we are gaining a daughter, we have also been blessed with a $3500 matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans (http://www.lifesongfororphans.org/).  They will match every dollar up to $3500.  So $3500 becomes $7000!!!!!!!!!!  We recieved the first part of this grant when we got Levi in the amount of $2000 and then another $1500 when we accepted Sun Xin Feng.

Lifesong for Orphans is a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to help meet the needs of orphan children around the world, and to obey God’s call to “visit the fatherless…in their affliction” (James 1:27). With over 147 million orphans worldwide, Lifesong seeks to mobilize the Body of Christ to love and care for orphans. Lifesong serves families, churches and orphans through adoption funding. Additionally, Lifesong brings joy and purpose to orphans globally in seven countries and domestically through foster care initiatives. Please visit our website (www.lifesongfororphans.org) for more information.
Drew and Aimee have sensed God’s call to care for the fatherless and have joyfully stepped out in faith and obedience to adopt Zheng Xiyu “Levi” and Sun Xin Feng from China. As you may already know, adoption can cost $25,000-$30,000 for one child and this financial burden prevents many godly families from adopting. Lifesong in partnership with Orphan Care Alliance believes God has called this family to adoption and has committed an Adoption Matching Grant of $3,500 to help bring these special children home.
Funds donated to Lifesong for Orphans will be given to help cover adoption expenses. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your gift is tax deductible. 100% of all funds raised will go directly to cover adoption costs--nothing will be taken out for Lifesong for Orphans administrative costs.
Will you invest financially in the life of this precious little boy and girl?
