Most of you know that it has been on my heart for a while to start up an adoption/orphan ministry at our new chuch, Life Church. Today I emailed Todd (senior pastor) to see if the church would be open to the idea. Praise God! He is not only supportive but would like for me to get something together to present to the congregation after Easter! So please send your prayers my way that God will lead me down the right path in setting everything up! I am thrilled and honored to be able to get this going!

Hi there, I stumbled on your blog and read about your desire to start an adoption ministry.
I work for a ministry called The ABBA Fund (www.abbafund.org) - we give interest-free loans to Christian couples and help churches establish adoption funds. I would love to be a resource in any way I can!
Feel free to contact me at jason (at) abbafund (dot) org
I started the orphan ministry at my church 3 years ago. I would be glad to share my proposal to the elders or help in any other way I can. Visit my personal ministry website at www.familiesforthechildren.org to contact me or for some additional helps. A recent book you might want to read is by Laura Christianson "The Adoption Network" www.laurachristanson.com. I helped contribute to it. I have also adopted and lead mission trips to Chinese orphanages if those experiences help. God bless.
