nightlight christian adoptions has generously pledged
to cover my budgeted expenses (~$5000) for my upcoming 4-month trip. i'm grateful for this provision and extremely humbled by their desire to partner with me and my professional skills.BUT, nightlight is a nonprofit organization and they fundraise for their various orphan care projects. their 1:1 china partnership fund is currently providing for things like, but not limited to, file preparation (paperwork so children can be adopted), nutritional supplements, crib upgrades, medical expenses, developmental toys and equipment, etc., ...and will soon broaden to include me/my skills (physical therapy, nanny training, and whatever else god may use me for).
there are a variety of ways to care for the millions of orphans worldwide and probably hundreds of different organizations by which to do so. however, if you're like me, you like to know where your money is going and it helps to have some personal connection to the work being done and/or the people doing the work.
if you'd like to join me in meeting some tangible needs of these chinese orphans, others like them, and even those who will unfortunately be abandoned in the coming months...
please give to nightlight's 1:1 china orphanage program:
(all donations are tax deductible).
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress
and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27

Hi April! I SO appreciate your writing this blog and keeping us up to date. Your willingness to serve the Lord through providing for the needs of these children is amazing. Thank you for your heart and love for these kids. We just recently came home with Guo Shi Yuan (now Ava). She is featured in your picture here... she is the one standing in the crib with the red sweater on. She is doing wonderfully in our family and her soul has really awakened. Thank you for the time you spent with her in November. We look forward to praying for you during your journey and helping out with donations through Nightlight. God bless you!!
