The Concert...


God is SO AMAZING! We are continually humbled by the way He has shown us how much He cares about our adoption through all the support we’ve received from family and friends. One such example of this is our upcoming adoption benefit concert put on by Clement Arts.

 

Allison and I got a call a few weeks ago from Jenny Horde, who said that we had been selected as the first “Celment Arts family”. Clement Arts is an organization run by Brad Griffith that encourages gospel-centered orphan care through the arts, enabling communities to support adoptive families in their midst. So, what does all of that mean exactly? Well, for us, it means that Clement Arts is hosting an event on December 14 at Crosspointe Church titled “A Clement Arts Christmas.” The concert is free and all proceeds raised (including cd sales and artwork by Helen Brooks) will go towards our adoption! The concert will feature music by Justin Belew, Elise Horn, and the Newcomers.

 

We realize that even though God calls everyone to care for orphans, not everyone is called to adopt. What an awesome and creative way the people at Clement Arts have gotten together to use the gifts and talents God has given them to care for orphans!!  We are so humbled to be selected as the first Clement Arts family and to be a part of an organization filled with individuals who have given their hearts to Christ and orhpan care. Clement Arts is an organzation that truly cares for the orhpan.  For more information about the Clement Arts and the concert, go here:  http://www.clement-arts.org/events/

 

Through this concert, God is using so many people to partner with us and support us through this adoption journey. It is clear to me that we have done nothing to deserve this support and love, but God did it all to display His glory.

 

Romans 11:36 “From from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever, amen.”
