So many of you have asked about what you can do to help bring Oberson
home. We appreciate all of the
support! If you want to help, there are
three main ways….
1.
Pray for
us! We need prayer warriors that will
carry us through the journey. This is
our most important need! The things we
need can only be achieved by God.
* Pray that all of
our hearts will be united in a way that is only from above.
* Pray for patience
and understanding at this journey and to trust His timing vs our timing.
* Pray for Oberson as
he will have more adjustments than we can understand. Also, that Ashley and Travis will be understanding
through the travel & transitions and that we will remain observant to their
needs.
2.
Anyone want some jewelry? I’m still selling jewelry as a fundraiser if
anyone is interested. I have the
magazine necklaces made in Uganda by Amazima as well as glass earrings from
Haiti and other items. If you are
interested, please let me know! I have a large supply of most items at the
house.
3.
We have been approved for a matching grant by
HeartCry Ministries which is an orphan ministry at our church. The matching grant is through LifeSong which
is a worldwide ministry to orphans.
Basically, whatever donations we receive in our name (fund) HeartCry
will match up to $4000! (That's $8000 y'all if we were fully funded!!) Donations are
tax deductible. Each year we have a
Pasta Dinner to raise money for orphan ministries locally and around the world
as well as raising money for adoptions.
We are being blessed by it this year! A $10 donation would become $20 through this matching grant! How amazing!
We are SO blessed and this is just another blessing. If you are interested in donating, you can
either use the link on the website and make a donation through PayPal or mail a
check to LifeSong for Orphans, P.O. Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744.
PLEASE put Shearer Family #4306 on the memo line or we will not get
credit for your donation!
Your friendship, support and encouragement through all of this has been
amazing to us! Thank you for loving us
and being so excited to meet our little guy!
: ) We can’t wait to meet him
too! J
