And This One Matters......: Ten For Ten in Ten Days!

They crossed the ocean the first time in 2010 to bring home this sweet young man, Koyla.

They crossed the ocean again only a few months ago to bring home another boy who wanted a family. At the last minute fear took over and he said no. The draw of his friends and the terror of the unknown prevented him from taking the utterly free gift that was offered.

He said no.

Heartbroken they came home.

They were burned and saddened and financially tapped out.

They came home to cry and heal and forget about oceans and airplanes and international adoptions.

But God.

And one picture.

TAYLOR

A little girl across the ocean begging for a family.

A little Reece's Rainbow babe who has been waiting for a family for far too long.

A precious treasure who is facing transfer any day.

One picture and their world turned upside down.

They had a choice. They could say no. They could say maybe but hold off in order to raise the money. They could drop everything and cross the ocean now.

The terror of rejection whispered "no".

The reality that their pockets were empty whispered "wait".

The Holy Spirit whispered "GO" in their hearts.

They are going.

The cliff is unbelievable steep.

Since their dossier was ALREADY IN COUNTRY - They only needed to add a paper or two and they were good to go back. They received an appointment almost immediately. That has left them mere weeks to raise $32,000.00.

Normally adoptions in that country do not run that high (Aaron's cost $30,000.00 but his was not normal). But a huge soccer tournament is happening at the same time they are crossing the ocean and where Taylor is located is right smack in the middle of where the tournament is going to take place. Apartment costs are skyrocketing and food prices are going to be outrageous.

The bill is enormous.

It is stunning. Shocking.

But this little girl wants a family.

She doesn't care about soccer tournaments or the high price of plane costs. She wants a Mama and a Papa. She will be thrilled with an older brother. She is tired of watching every other child in her groupa being picked while she has been left behind. She doesn't want to be transferred.

Taylor wants a family.

They want her.

And God is making a way.

Here's the deal.

So far the Dewberry's have raised about $11,000.00.

They need to raise $22,000.00 more.

They are traveling in 11 days!!

IMPOSSIBLE...

Get this...

An anonymous donor has stepped up and has offered a $5,000.00 matching grant PLUS their employer will MATCH that grant with another $5,000.00.

DID YOU READ THAT???

THAT IS $10,000.00 IN MATCHING FUNDS.

All we need to raise is $10,000.00 and the Dewberry's will just about be FULLY FUNDED!

$10,000.00 to get $10,000.00 in 10 days!!

TEN for TEN in TEN days!!

CAN WE DO IT??

Every 10 you donate becomes 20.

Every 50 you donate becomes 100.

Every 100 you donate becomes 200.

Every 500 you donate becomes 1000.

It is a LOT of money to raise in 10 days.

Will you help?
