Many of you may know that we have been praying about adoption. We feel very strongly that God is leading us down this path and Ethiopia has been where our hearts have been led and where our daughter is. We are now into the process.
In order for us to raise money, we are holding an Open House Chili Supper with an Ethiopian flair! It will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2009, from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. Please feel free to come and go as you please during this time. It will be at the Lake Forest Lodge, which is located at 511 Woodlake Drive, Louisville KY 40245.
To cover the cost of food for the event, a donation of $10 per adult is recommended.
Children are welcome! There will be an adult supervised play area. There will also be hot dogs for them!
A small silent auction will also be held. Checks and cash accepted only.
For those unable to attend, we will also be accepting donations. Checks can be written to Lifesong for Orphans. Please add "Rob & Mandi Allen" to the memo section and mail them to 10714 English Oak Court, Louisville KY 40241. All donations are tax deductible. Please be advised that due to checks being processed by Lifesong for Orphans, it may take a month or two for checks to be deposited by Lifesong for Orphans. If you need a receipt, please let us know.
We thank you in advance for your support financially but we would also covet continued prayers for this journey. We look forward to sharing with you as we follow God's will in adding to our family!
We have enjoyed watching friends go through their adoption journey and look forward to those who may be encouraged by our journey as well.
God bless!
Rob, Mandi & Carissa Allen
"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth." Isaiah 43:5-6
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
