The Big Announcement: Want to Get Involved?

Moses answered, "What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, 'The LORD did not appear to you'?" Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied.
Exodus 4:11-12
"What is that in your hand?" It's a key question God asks of us. He loves to take the ordinary time, talents, and treasures we have, and do extraordinary things with them. It happens again and again in scripture.
  • Moses and his staff.
  • David and his sling. (slew giants)
  • A little boy and his loaves and fish. (fed thousands)
  • Peter and a net. (learned a new way to "fish")

As mentioned, all said and done, international adoption is not cheap (application fees, home study, dossier fees, travel costs, attorney fees, blah blah blah blah blah).

We have been looking at how we can use our time and talents in a way to leverage them toward this adoption. Here's is the first way we're doing it. My fantastic wife is great with photography and graphics. She has designed the following for sale:



One Life at a Time Short or Long Sleeve Shirt:
Black shirt (with design centered across the chest).
It's a motto I've seen my wife live by in ministry. It's also the heart of the starfish story. It's a main reason why we are doing this adoption.
Short Sleeve - $15
Long Sleeve - $22




Welcome a Child Short or Long Sleeve Shirt:
Light blue shirt (with design centered on the front of the shirt).
based on Matthew 18:5 where Jesus said, "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me."
Short Sleeve - $15
Long Sleeve - $22




12 Note Cards:
These Note Cards contain images captured by Janelle. 4 different images on the note card (3 of each image). Comes with 12 envelopes. Blank inside.
Two styles to choose from: Flower Montage & Misc Montage
One set of 12 - $8

How it works:
  • Go to this site before October 17: prenkertphotography.bigcartel.com and place your order.
  • You pay through paypal.
  • Items will be printed and shipped to you after the sale ends October 17.
  • All proceeds go into our adoption fund.
