Help us bring Noah home!

Happy 2016!

Well, we’re only about six weeks away! From what, you ask? In just a short time our whole family will travel to China to complete the adoption of our new son, Noah!

For a little of Noah’s story and also a video clip of him that made me cry when I saw it, please check out my blog!

Noah will need quite a bit of medical care when we get him back to the States. If you’d like to support our family with Noah’s adoption and medical expenses, here are several options:

If you’re in the Columbus, OH area, come to one of these events, bring your friends, and like and share them!

Feb. 4th at 7 pm at Encounter Church in Dublin, I will be doing a one-night women’s conference called “Adopted” with my good friend and Abingdon Women speaker, Melissa Spoelstra. All proceeds go to support Noah’s adoption and medical expenses.

Feb. 20th at 7 pm at Bethel Church in Columbus, I will be doing a family concert that is open to all. All proceeds go to support Noah’s adoption and medical expenses.

If you’re not in the Columbus area, you can make a donation to Noah’s adoption and medical expense through PayPal on our contact us page here. If you scroll down a bit to the section that says “Support Jennifer’s Ministry,” you will see the PayPal link and you can leave us a note that it’s for Noah. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help!

In other news, I’m writing songs again and also working on a book about worship so stay tuned for new developments there!

Let us know if there’s any way we can serve your church this fall or next winter! I am planning to take off a few months after Noah comes home to get him settled and figure out his medical situation, but we would love to be with you after that! Let us know how we can pray for you and serve with you!

In Christ,

Jennifer
