Adoption Ministry

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:25:14 GMT

Adoption class to offer step-by-step guidance If only 7% of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan or child in distress, there would be no more orphans. Since ministry advocate Amy Bezecny knows the struggles and rewards of adoption first hand, she worries that many individuals and families hesitate to even start the process. People think adoption is too complicated and often stop at the first hurdle, not realizing the rewards that would await them at the moment they add a new family member, says Amy. Adoption is such a wonderful opportunity for so many reasons, I want everyone who has ever even considered adoption to know that information, encouragement and support are going to be plentiful for all who participate in the upcoming 7-week Adoption Discovery class. Adoption Class Details Beginning April 18, the sessions will be offered from 4:30-6 p.m. on Sunday nights until May 30 in B121 (the children's chapel). This educational program...
