WOW!!!!!!

God is GOOD!!!

Thank you SO MUCH!!!! We only have $1906 to go!!!! Your generosity is OVERWHELMING!!!!

We're SO CLOSE!!!

America World (the Knox' agency) wants all their paperwork submitted THIS WEEK! We need $7700 to submit the paperwork - thankfully we're only $3189 short.

PLEASE consider joining with us to bring these children HOME! They have lost so much already....their mother died in January & their father was leaving them home ALONE (they're 4 & 2) in order to go to work and make less than $2 a day transporting people on his bicycle.

These children have lost so much....but God is in the redeeming business!

He knew the Knox family would be their provision before the beginning of time. He knew they'd be loved & cherished & provided for through the miracle that is adoption. He knew that so many other people would get to come around the Knox family to bring these kids home! Think of the stories Craig & Caylene will be able to tell them of how LOVED and SPECIAL they are. They were SO WANTED that 100's of people stepped up to bring them home.

We can't share their names or pictures....but here's a sneak peek!!!

The RUN!!!

We had soooooo much fun!!!!! There were 72 runners & lots of friends & family around to cheer them on.

A GIANT thank you to everyone who came out to help! We even had a warm fire & propane heater to help stave off the 33 degree day!

We raised over $3000 with 100% going to help the Knox family with their adoption!!!! WOO HOOO!!!!

I'll post pictures soon - my camera is still buried :)

The fundraising has hit OVER DRIVE!!!

We're STILL jumping up and down excited for the Knox family!!! The reality of raising $8,624 MORE before November 23rd seems a bit daunting....but like Peter we're keeping our eyes on Jesus!!! The Knox family has DEFINITELY stepped out of the boat and is walking on the water. Caylene told me last night she fell asleep praying & this morning she woke up praying. And then just today they've received $1200 in donations!!!! THANK YOU so much!!!!

We're working hard on our 5k Fund Run/Walk to be held November 20th. We had a VERY generous donation from Eric Meyer of Farmers Insurance in Colfax to buy shirts for the first 100 to register. As of today we have 72 people registered!!!! And MANY of them are from out of state that just want to support the Knox family. Thank you SO MUCH!!! Join us in praying for some FABULOUS weather that weekend!!!



Our newest addition to the fundraising portfolio are these super cute Africa shirts! ***Kelli-you & your girls make such cute models*** They're $20 & come in kids size small to adult size XL. The Knox "sweat shop" was open until 2am on Sunday morning...she was excited that we were able to get an extra hour in with the time change! I looked like a little old lady hunkered over my sewing machine & Caylene had BLISTERS from cutting out so many Africa's!!! We made 64 shirts in less than 2 days! WHEW! But the AMAZING part was that less than 2 days later we only have 27 left!!!! Is God good OR WHAT!!?!?!?

I can't stop thinking of the story where Gideon had finally listened to God to rally an army against the Midianites. He had gathered 32,000 men to fight but God said that was too many, because when they won they'd boast in themselves and not God. So God told him to let anyone who was scared go home and 22,000 left. God said that 10,000 men was still to many....he finally got down to 300 men to fight the Midianites...and of course they WON! and of course God got all the glory.

God is WAY bigger than $8624. He knew from the beginning of time that there would be this "rush". He knew that because the Knox family was willing to step out of the boat their lives would be FOREVER changed! We can trust that His plans are to give these 2 children a HOPE & a FUTURE and that his plans for the Knox family are to prosper them & not to harm them!

To God be ALL the glory - forever & ever! AMEN!!!

The Knox family has a REFERRAL!!!!!

We're just bouncing off the walls here! The Knox family has accepted a referral for TWO little ones!!!!

Jump over to KnoxFamilyHeartCandy.blogspot.com for all the juicy details!!!

God is SOOOO GOOOD!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!

They have a REFERRAL!!!

The day we've been waiting for is FINALLY HERE!!!! The Knox family has received their referral!!!!! That means they've been matched with a child - or in their case CHILDREN!!!

They're SO excited! They've been open to the idea of a sibling group & God has given them a 4 1/2 year old boy & his 2 1/2 year old sister!!!!

So.....what this mean for No Longer Orphans & the Knox family is that we need to raise $11,000 by THANKSGIVING!!! The total needed is $16,000 - and we've raised almost $5,000 already. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than helping bring 2 children HOME!!

We ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with us. Prayer support, financial support, emotional support - it's ALL needed!!!

Things to pray for:
*the health & safety of little S & little R!!!
*a QUICK court date! Craig & Caylene will travel to Ethiopia for court. They'll be in Ethiopia for 1 week meeting the children & making their court appearance. Once they pass court the children will be legally theirs - then they can share pictures with all of you! They will come home & return to Ethiopia in 4-6 weeks to bring the children home. Court could be as early as the end of DECEMBER!!! SOOOO exciting!!!!
*for a quick & easy transition for their new little ones and their "old" little ones :)
