This video is from Aaron Ivey a friend of mine who has helped the church engage the need to be the church and adopt! He is a Worship Leader from The Austin Stone Church.
Personally, as I have looked at scriptures I have been more and more compelled to seek to do what God did for us. Adopt! I want my life to exude the gospel and I want to extend that love to as many as possible! I think when we look at the scriptures we see adoption as one of the best ways we could demonstrate our love for God and do what he has done for us. God took us in. He invited us into his fellowship, making us part of the family (Eph. 1:4-5, Rom 8:15, 9:4).
I want to encourage you to join me and pray about adoption. Consider with ours this possibility. Why? Because children matter to God and church is to enage the needs of our cities. Today there are thousands of young men and women who will go through life in foster care but never have a father or mother unless we the church takes action and does what the Father did for us. Pray with me and ask Jesus if he would have you adopt or foster. ---Ryan
