3 Years Ago Today...

‎...on January 6, 2008, we landed in Nashville, TN, with our first 3 Ethiopian kiddos (Bereket, Bethlehem, and Selam). Siblings Brandon, Isabella, and Justice awaited their arrival.

What a sacred homecoming it was! Life has been beautiful ever since!

Help-a-Thon for the Van Druff Family

An incredible adoptive family with 6 kids in Arkansas had their home completely destroyed by a tornado last night. Please read Renee's post HERE to learn more about their miraculous salvation from the storm.[above photo: The Whole Van Druff Clan, except Baby Nathan who has since been born]

While they had insurance for their home, the insurance coverage isn't that great. They are getting very little help with living expenses and such from them. THEY NEED US TO KICK IT INTO HIGH GEAR FOR THEM!!! What would help them the most right now are cash gifts and Wal-Mart gift cards.

Go to Paypal to donate directly to their account at vandruff.family@gmail.com. Or, you may mail a check or Wal-Mart gift card to them at:

The Van Druff Family
50 Rockefeller Blvd.
Ward, AR 72176

Amazingly enough, their mailbox is still standing. Let's give generously and sacrificially to bless this amazing and humble family.

They were hit by a tornado; now let's bless them with a FLOOD of offerings!

So what are you waiting for? Time's a'wastin'!

And remember: please link to this blog post from your own blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Thank you!

Our God is Mighty to Save

This is from the Van Druff family in Little Rock. Our family of 11 actually stayed in their home with their family of 8 (plus one friend) less than 4 weeks ago on our way from Nashville to Texas for Spring Break. We have been online friends for awhile, but had never met in person until then. A very humble, generous, and loving family...

Last night in the storms, their home was destroyed by a tornado. Please read the following post and pray for them. I will post as soon as there are some concrete plans as to WHAT we can do to as the Body of Christ to meet their tangible needs.
