We just learned that we have the chance to have our paperwork in Nepal for a referral within the 2009 quota because a family just withdrew their application. There are 50 agencies in the USA that are allowed 10 slots per year. The stipulation is that we need to have our dossier in Nepal by December 20th. It is now down to a funding issue only. We need somewhere around $8,900. We are very excited about this. Please pray His will be done.
I know it sounds crazy.... BUT if we had 89 people who gave 100.00 or 178 people to give $50 or (to saving the lives of two orphan boys) that would give us the 8900.00 needed to get our dossier in Nepal! We NEED the money by December 15th! Please pray and if the Lord is leads you to help in anyway please send any money to Mike & Tonya Davis 301 Hoxie Hill Rd. Orrington, ME. 04474 or you can make a donation using paypal by going to our Nepal adoption blog...see the "Chip In" on the side. WE ARE PRAYING FOR A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
A friend told me about an amazing 11 year old girl who felt the Lord leading their family to adopt a special needs child and she ask people to partner with them in this mission and she raised over 20,000.00 in a couple of weeks! The Lords heart is for these children and He wants them in Christian homes! This daughter and her mom wrote this song and I wanted to share it with you.
147 million strong, an army of the very young
Can you hear the orphan's cry?
No weapons for them to use,
Their lives are shattered and abused,
Can you hear the orphan's cry?
You can make it right,
You can save a life,
Show them the way!
No one knows their name,
Lost in a foreign place,
Show them the way!
Pure religion is this,
Help the orphan in need,
He says, Whatever you do for the least,
You do for Me, You do for Me!
They are your sister and your child,
Longing to feel your warm embrace,
Now that you know, why hesitate?
God is speaking to your heart,
Get out and do your part,
Don't delay....why not today?
You can make it right,
You can save a life,
Show them the way!
No one knows their name,
They're lost in a foreign place,
Show them the way!
147 million strong....Can you hear the orphan's cry???

Been following your blog, we are in the same situation: low on $. At what point is your dossier, and what are you hearing about progress in Nepal.
