I try to, on occasion, (I
never spell that word right on the first try) to draw your attention to worthy causes and crazy people doing awesome stuff. Not like eating live bugs for money on TV, not that kind of crazy people. I don't support bug-eating, although I consider it your God-given American right to eat bugs on television if you want to. But I am talking about a different kind of crazy person, who has a thought, "Hey, maybe I should change the world," and then, instead of chilling with some Netflix and Cap'n Crunch (don't hate) they DO STUFF that changes the world. That kinda crazy.
So now I want you to spend your money to help them do the stuff that we should all be doing. These 2 families have been HUGELY inspirational in my own journey with God.
First: the Lockett family. You guys know I write way too infrequently for
Bound4Life's blog, and Matt Lockett is the boss of the B4L operation, unless you read TV title bars, where it usually says he's the secretary or something. He also heads up JHOP DC, a house of prayer in the capital. You should go google all that stuff, because the headlines you're reading on a daily basis about "Bad Year for Planned Parenthood" and stuff like that are, in my opinion, in large part due to the prayers of the Lockett family and their ministries. Here's the deal: they need a new vehicle, as their current 2 are kaput. You can go here and read all about it, and then give.

And the other crazy people I want you to give to are adoption revolutionaries. Randy and Kelsey don't just talk about obeying God, or about adoption, they live it. In addition to adopting 3 daughters, they started an adoption agency and a foundation to support adoption. (We used both
Hannah's Dream and
The Zoe Foundation when we adopted Tristan!) Here's the next part: they adopted twins a couple of years ago, and are in the process of adopting their twins' biological twin siblings. Don't try to wrap your mind around it, it's crazy. But it's God. They need to raise $15,000 ASAP. You can help. Go and give something, lots of ways to give.

Wow adopting the twins of the twins you adopted. *mindmelt* God is so good!
ReplyDeleteeven if you can only give 5 or 10 bucks, it totally counts and helps! It's so easy to give! - Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI gave towards the twins' adoptions. Not much, but some. After telling my sister about both families, she decided to give towards the adoptions too.
ReplyDeletethanks Jess for opening up my morning to beautiful ways the kingdom is moving. Gave, and got my girls more excited about adoption. Win Win.
