I am so pumped....I found a great site full of information about starting an adoption ministry, adoption manual, and an adoption biblestudy. The best part is it is FREE!!! Yes...check it out if you are intersted in starting your own ministry at your church or just want some great information. www.hfgf.org I have printed and now having it bound at school so I can read over the manual this weekend.
I have also got some great guotes to start us off before we create our mission statement. We have to have a mission so that we can bring babies home to their family and show God's love to others....which is all about ADOPTION.
Below-is on the site and I think it is just perfect for a misstion statement. I know we can't copy straight from this but we can let it guide us to what we see for Hillcrest's Adoption Ministry.
Church Adoption Ministry
*Brings God's Love to orphan children by living example.
*The best way for orphans to become adopted children of God.
*Helps willing families overcome financial obstacles to adoption.
*Connects adopting families with sponsors who have the means and willingness to help.
*Enables sponsors to help adopting families in their own home church and community.
*Demonstrates the Father Heartof God to the world.Remember the boy with the loaves and fish?
*God loves to bless pure and undefiled religion!
I can't wait until our first meeting on Feburary 2nd. Please be praying for women and men to show up that have a heart for God and for orphans.
Much Love and many blessings to you,
