Adoption Fundraiser for India Event

This Fall 2015, One Sought Me and friends were able to organize and lead a community event fundraiser for another local adoptive family. It was a Fall Festival themed indoor event with games, pumpkin designing, face painting, scarecrow stuffing, petting zoo, food, baked goods, raffle baskets, dance company performance, and live music special singer.  The event also featured 3 sections that were themed with each of the countries from which One Sought Me has been blessed to help in different families' adoption journeys around the globe!  Ethiopia, China, and India each had a craft and activity tent set up with crafts that represented the beautiful cultures.

In 2013 we held an outdoor fundraiser with a walk around a local park, games, speakers, music, raffle baskets, etc. and were blessed with the support in prayer and financially to help us raise funds for our adoption to Ethiopia. See pics here.  We felt so blessed, that the following year, in 2014, we held the same One Sought Me Walk event for a local family who was adopting from China. Read about that here.   This year, God opened the door to serve yet another family and help them on their adoption journey.  This time, and adoption to India.

The Westroms are friends of ours and have helped us during the past two years with our One Sought Me Walk event.  Tim and his fellow church members have been prayer warriors for our adoption, supported us in the 2013, and 2014 event.  This year, God grew a seed in the Westroms' hearts that had be planted years prior for them to pursue adoption to India.  Please keep this family in your prayers as they are nearing the end of their dossier submission to the country and beginning their waiting time for the referral/match of the child who will soon be an orphan no longer!!

Below are pictures of this year's event and the dance team, Wills Mountain School of Dance Cloggers who so graciously performed center stage.  We want to give a HUGE thanks to those who volunteered their time, talent, and energy to make this event a success raising nearly $2,000 for this family!!  To God be the glory and may the Lord continue to provide generously for this family!
