African Puzzle
We began this fundraiser back on July 16th and it has been our biggest fundraiser so far!!! We purchased a 500 piece puzzle and began asking people to sponsor puzzle pieces for $10 each. As a person sponsors a piece (or more) we write their name on the back of a puzzle piece and add it to our puzzle. When the puzzle is finished, we will glue it and frame it to hang in our children's bedroom.
To be honest, I never thought that we would actually have all 500 pieces sponsored. That just seemed like a LOT of pieces, but I thought that it would be neat to see how many would be sponsored before our adoption journey was finished. My God is bigger and better than my thoughts and plans. Look at our puzzle today!!!!!

We have had 439 puzzle pieces sponsored!!! That means there are only 61 pieces left!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Several of those pieces have the name of a person or family who simply gave us a donation towards our adoption expenses. They did not specifically ask to sponsor a puzzle piece, but we have added their names as a reminder of the many people who have been praying for us and helping us throughout our journey. We have also had a couple gifts that were semi-anonymous ~ we were told that the money was from God. So when our children read through the names on the back of their puzzle and they see "God" written on many pieces, we will be able to tell them of the many ways God worked to help us bring them home!!!
If you are interested in helping us finish our puzzle, please send an e-mail to ~ hearts1982@gmail.com ~ or you may make a donation via our "Donate" button on our sidebar. Simply leave a note letting us know that you would like to sponsor a puzzle piece.
