Let's Think About DONATING!

Exciting News!!!!

We have been offered a MATCHING GRANT!
I shared with you in my last post
that we had been approved for something 
from Lifesong for Orphans.
That opportunity did not
involve any grants or loans.

However, The Lord has provided in another way!
There is an organization that connects
private donors with adoptive families in financial need.
However, they usually are helping families
adopting special needs children, but
The Lord has moved up on their hearts to
open up to a family like us
adopting through Compassion for Congo.

So there is someone out there
(God bless their soul)
that is willing to provide us with
a matching grant.

They have reached out to us
and we are so grateful.

SO.
WHAT is a matching grant?
 HOW does it work?
WHEN will the funds be matched?

Well, we basically will have a week to raise
as much money as we can,
and they will double what we raise,
up to $1,000!

If we raise $1,000
they will give ANOTHER $1,000!

We have the potential to raise $2,000 in a week!

They will be using our funding site
adopttogether.org/teaglefam/
to see how much comes in during our fundraising week.

They will literally match each donation
until it reaches $1,000.

So what we are asking is for you to start praying about it.
We will announce the confirmed date very soon,
but it looks like it will be the second week of February.

We ask that if any of you ever had the thought
cross your mind of giving to our adoption/Tobias fund
that this would be the time you choose to do it!

If you can give $10,
it will turn into $20!

If you can give $100,
it will turn into $200!!!

So please keep this on your minds and hearts
as we will be as well!

ALSO,
be ready for a super fun
fundraising event that we'll be having the weekend
before all this starts!!

It will be something you can participate in
whether you're local or far away!
And the money raised will be included in the
matching grant time period.

Once we get it confirmed and approved,
we'll announce it.

It'll be fun ;)

So as always....
PLEASE
KEEP US IN PRAYER!

You'll be seeing many posts from now
up until this fundraising week!

****Also, little update on Tobi.
The remaining 4 children recently left the orphanage
to go HOME with their forever families.
Apparently Tobias was pretty sad to see them go :(
 So continue to pray for our little guy.
We are told that he is very ready
to go home to his family.
He's got a good few months left,
so we're praying that more children come in
very soon to keep him company!!!
