Letter from Andy Lehman of LifeSong

 

Dear church, family, and  friends of Bill and Cindy,

 

LifeSong for Orphans is a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to help meet the needs of orphan children around the world, and obey God’s call to “visit the fatherless…in their affliction” (James 1:27). 

 

The number of children worldwide without families to love and care for them is astounding… there are over 1.5 million orphans in Eastern Europe alone!

 

God tells us in His word He has heard the cry of the orphaned and abandoned children (Psalm 10:17,18) and He has made a way for them to be cared for – through adoption.  As believers, He adopted us into His family through Jesus Christ, and did not leave us as spiritual orphans! 

 

We believe adoption at its core is evangelism, a vital part of the Great Commission is bringing the mission field home.  God desires orphans from all nations to be adopted into Christ-honoring families so they may ultimately be adopted into His eternal family through Jesus Christ. God calls us to fulfill James 1:27, “visit the fatherless…” but not all are called to adopt.  Some are called to pray, some to give financially, some to go on mission trips and some to adopt.

 

Bill and Cindy have sensed God’s call…and have joyfully stepped out in faith and obedience to adopt a child from Ukraine. As you may already know, international adoption can cost around $25,000 and prevents many godly families from adopting.  LifeSong believes God has raised up the Finley family “for such a time as this…” We invite you to support them financially to make this adoption possible.  Funds given to LifeSong will help cover adoption expenses for this child.  Your gift is tax deductible and you will receive a tax-deductible receipt. 

 

*100% of all funds raised will go directly to cover adoption costs, nothing will be taken out for LifeSong administrative costs.

 

Will you invest financially in the life of this child?… it will be an investment with eternal return.

 

God bless you for laying your treasures up in Heaven,

 

Andy Lehman

Vice President

 

p.s. I trust God will do great and mighty things through this, and all for His Glory!
