I recently finished reading again
the excellent book, Adopted for Life, (The Priority of Adoption for
Christian Families and Churches) by Russell Moore.
Here are my quotes from the
book which will be circulated worldwide.
Perhaps in the future, the Lord will
lead you and your church leaders to encourage adoption (James 1:27) in your
church, and also to have a church-sponsored fund which all in the church can
give. This would greatly assist a couple with the huge financial expense of
adoption. This is not difficult and would not affect other church expenses in
any way.
For example: If 100 adults in your
church would each set aside only $2.78 daily (cup of coffee) for three months
(90 days) this would result in a total of $25,000, which would completely cover
the cost of one, perhaps even two adoptions! Even with a small salary, Margaret
and I can do this ($5.56 together for 90 days). So can you.
Perhaps this is something you and
your church would prayerfully consider to the glory of God and for the life of
a child. As our Father in Heaven adopted you into His family, you can adopt an
orphan into yours; they would, therefore, not be an orphan anymore.
