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

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.”
