Trey and I had many cheerleaders when we decided to adopt for the first time. None, however, played a role as big as the Metz family. They helped us find our church home, walked us through steps of Solomon's adoption. Jade even took time away from her family and work to escort me to Uganda on my first trip so she could 'show me around'. We are so grateful for all the support, love, and fundraising efforts they have provided our family. Now, it's our turn to return the favor.
You see, Nathan, Jade, Maddux, Sophie, Ezra, and Ruby are stepping out. They are stepping out of familiar.comfort.home. and creating a new home in UGANDA! Right now, they are in the midst of training, preparing, and fundraising.... and have been given an amazing opportunity.
"God has answered. While we were praying for increased commitments to support our ministry there was another family praying about something different. They prayed about how they could be used to partner with the mission of the Metz family in Uganda. We were asking for help and they were asking how to help. Wow! As God heard those prayers He orchestrated a beautiful answer. So, here it is:
We have been offered a matching donation of $700 per month. The deadline is only 90 days away but we are confident that God can use His Church to meet this goal! Starting today, all monthly (recurring) commitments made to the Metz family will count toward this matching amount. If those monthly commitments add up to $700 before November 5th then they will ALL be matched. Yes, that is $1,400 per month. This is God-sized activity!
If you have been interested in joining our ministry but haven't yet made that monthly commitment then we encourage you to start now. Tell your friends! We can do this!
To join in the challenge, click here and select "recurring gift".
If you would prefer to mail in a pledge card email us at nathanandjademetz@gmail.com and we will get one to you right away!
Thank you!! We are so excited!!"
Would you take some time and pray about being apart of the Metz journey to Uganda? They have done so much and blessed so many and I can.not. wait to see how the Lord uses them on that glorious red dirt.
In order to raise some money for the Metz family adventure, I'm doing a little give-away. Who doesn't love a hand-made-with-love door sign made by yours truly?
Well, for a small donation of $5 you can have a chance at winning it! All you need to do is donate the appropriate amount for how many entries you would like to my pay pal with your name. October 25th I will use random.org to choose our winner.
Sooo let's get ready to bless their pants off and good luck!
Xo,
