Hi,
I am writing to update you all on the status of our most recent grant request and to thank you for your prayers.
David and I recevied our response letter today from ShowHope. We were advised that our grant request was declined. Again, the overwhelming requests for financial assistance far outweighs thier ability to give to every family that has a legitimate need. We believe ShowHope's nt process is covered in prayer and that God has another way of providing the means to bring Eva home.
I wanted to share this excerp from their letter..
"Thank you for your heart for adoption and for your faith as you walk according to God's leading. We are greatful that there are times God provides ShowHope the means to assist in the adoption process, but we are equally thankful that He doesn't need ShowHope to accomplish His purposes in the lives of orphans. It is our hope that you will not be discouraged but rest in the knowledge that " Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass." I Thessalonians 5:24".
So true. While we are at peace with our circumstances, it is very upsetting and emotionally straining to be declined again. We we will continue to apply for grants and fundraise so please continue to pray wisdom and discernment as we continue to research options.
Laura
