James 1:27 Music Night

(You can click on the flier above to enlarge it.)

If you are local, please mark your calendars for Saturday, October 27th at 6:30pm!  Please join us at our new church facility for the James 1:27 Music Night Adoption Benefit.  Our good friends, Mike and Lisa Ott, are adopting a boy, Jimmy, from Ghana. Jimmy's story is a long and wonderful one that only the Lord could have orchestrated. His story actually intertwines with Jonathan's story, but that is a post for another day. :-)

Mike and Lisa also lead worship at our church on occasion. On Mother's Day (well before the Otts knew they were adopting Jimmy - I knew it, but they didn't LOL), they sang "Always Enough" by Casting Crowns. The words were put to a slideshow. The slideshow moved me deeply...(yes, I was crying - hard). :-) Sarah put the slideshow into a video w/ the song. As always she did a great job. I hope you take time to watch it. You will recognize a few familiar faces (Tabitha - Jonathan's twin and daughter of my heart, Maxim, and Lilly). All of the photos from Africa are from Mike's mission trip to Ghana to help build churches. Jimmy is the boy lying on the ground next to the van, as well as sitting on Mike's lap. To some, it may seem a bit odd to put photos of Ghana and waiting orphans w/ Ds together in a slideshow, but in our church, they go together perfectly!

Please pray for the Otts as they have taken a HUGE leap of faith to adopt Jimmy. (They are currently awaiting USCIS approval.) Thanks!
