Sorry for the horrible play on words in the title!
I want to let you know about the first fundraiser we are having to help cover the cost of adoption.
In the early part of November, I will be walking approximately 110 miles, from Holly Ridge, NC to Myrtle Beach, SC. I am asking for churches, businesses, and individuals to consider sponsoring me either per mile or a one time donation.
I am partnering with a licensed Christian orphanage in Peru, and the funds raised will be split 50/50. I believe God can help us to raise a large portion of the $30,000.00 needed, even in this tough economy. God is concerned with the fatherless!
In the next couple of days I will post the details on where you can sign up to help, and a list of things needed to make the walk successful. Will you please pass the word for us? Thank you!

This blog follows us as we add to our family through international adoption from Poland, not Peru. (It's a long story, so feel free to read through the blog.) We spent seven weeks in Poland in the summer of 2015, arriving home on August 28th. We are happy to answer questions you have and would love to be an encouragement, so please feel free to email us from our contact page.
Mark, that comment was VERY reminiscent of your father! Very excited about this new adventure you and Erika are embarking upon. Will be praying with you for God's provision.
