Congratulations Slack's and Rohner's, Orphan Sunday Children's Teaching!


Last night two of our HHFO couples from HealingPlaceChurch were able to dedicate to the Lord their sons that they adopted within days of each other! Adoption!!!!! Adoption is such a beautiful word when seen through the eyes of God! Congratulations, Dina and Heath and Stephanie and Randy!!!!! The Rohner's testimony will be up soon on the right sidebar and the Slack's will have an update to theirs soon as well!! Welcome home, Grey and Hays!!!!! And thanks for the pictures Carole!!!!!


Also, on Friday, Tommy and I were able to receive an advocate award on behalf of HPC's "His Heart for Orphans" Adoption Ministry at our Governor's Mansion by OCS! We definitely received this for all of us (which means you) who have come along side of us to fight for the orphan!!!!!


ORPHAN SUNDAY:
We have been so blessed to have pastors that have embraced our vision and desire to bring forth awareness of orphans and adoption! This year has been a tremendous blessing and we have been able to add a little more to our plate (this is good!) about fighting for orphans! Recently we did our first LIVE adoption online q&a via HPC online and then today Meghan Matt was able to share at HPC children's church for all services their families adoption journey of Moses from Africa and share God's heart for orphans! We could not be more excited about all the opportunities God has given us to speak up for the orphan!! Thank You, Lord!!
