As you know, we are currently in the process of adopting a son from Ethiopia. As you may or may not know, this is a very costly venture. We are so grateful for how God has already provided for us, and are excited to see Him working to bring in the needed funds! The PUZZLE is an opportunity for you to join with us in this ministry of adoption. We will be putting together a puzzle for Levi, and we would like to give you the opportunity to sponsor parts of that puzzle, whether it's one piece or several pieces. As each piece is sponsored, we will assemble the puzzle. We will keep you updated via our blog, facebook (or email if you prefer). If you choose to participate, your name will be written on the back of each piece that you sponsor. When Levi comes home he will have a beautiful record of how many people helped bring him home - and more importantly, of God's perfect plan for his life!
How to Sponsor a Piece of the Puzzle:
1.) Purchase T-shirt at Adoption Bug
2.) Purchase 2 pounds of Coffee: Ground to Cup Coffee
3.) Purchase Africa T-shirt: "add to cart" on home page. See shirt below
4.) Simply Donate: 10$ = one puzzle piece
