Adoption Benefit Concert

Religion that God our father accepts as pure and fautless is to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27


On Sunday evening our family attended an Adoption Benefit Concert for our very special friend, Miss K(Mr and Mrs. Di's oldest daughter), who is in the process of adopting a baby girl from Ethiopia. It was a night filled with beautiful music, sacred dance, worship, and God's heart for the oppressed and orphaned. Mercy and Odesco and many other adopted children had the privilege of participating in an Adoption Children's Choir (this is the 3rd time this group has performed). It was an amazing night celebrating the gift of adoption and reminded me once again of the miracle of adoption in our own lives.

How precious it was to hear these children sing 'He knows My name"-what a powerful song!... there were children from China, Korea, Vietnam, Russia, and of course, Liberia :) They were all dressed in outfits from their countries of birth~


So thankful to be adopted into God's family and to have the privilege to take part in the miracle of adoption in our own home~

Oh my goodness, I would have been bawling if I heard the kids sing that song. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. How beautiful!
