Thoses of you who have donated,
prayed for, and emotionally supported us are already a part of the bigger
picture; coming together to bring our children into their forever families; to complete
this part of our families stories; to change an orphan’s status to son; to unite a family.
For that reason it just seems fitting to continue our fund raising with a puzzle that will be put together with love by our family and friends. Of course, this will help with the financial side of bringing our children home but the symbolism is even better.
God sees the puzzle of your life,
Not as pieces, but as whole.
Not as pieces, but as whole.
His mind is not confused or bent
By the turmoil in your soul.
For each piece is carefully fitted
Flawlessly filling every space.
A breathtakingly magnificent portrait
Of His glory, love and grace!

The Brandt's have purchased this African themed puzzle.
This is a 500 piece puzzle. We are inviting you to "sponsor" a piece (or more if you choose) of this puzzle for $10 and take part in bringing our precious boy home. With each piece sponsored we'll write your name on the back and put that piece of the puzzle in place.
...A permanent reminder of the part you played in bringing our son home....Something for him to look at and see just how loved he is... But more importantly to see God's perfect plan for his precious life.

ALL of these funds
raised will be used for our travel expenses. One completely sponsored puzzle
($5000) will be enough to fund our 1st trip to Ethiopia. We are so
excited about the visual of putting each piece in place as we get closer and
closer to bringing Silas home.
Once the puzzle is
complete we plan to have it framed in double sided glass so we can always see both
sides of the puzzle and each of your names.
Sharing that with Silas someday warms my heart.
Your partnership in helping to bring him home blesses us more than words could ever say.

ReplyDeleteWe set out to make $5000 to assist with our travel expenses in bringing Silas home.
But God had more in mind.
Are you ready???
You all helped us raise $11,800
(more than double our goal)
God knew how much we need for this adoption and he met that need through all of your donations and prayers.
We cannot begin to express the joy and awe we have in your generosity!
Thank you all!
