A Home for Matthew: Our Adoption!
Donation protected
Dear Family and Friends,
We have felt called by God to adopt a “fatherless” child into our family. We are adopting a little boy from an orphanage in China named Matthew Jin Shan. Matthew means "gift of Yahweh" and we know he is a gift from the Lord! He is almost 3 years old, and has been in an orphanage since he was abandoned at 10 months old. We are traveling to China to bring him home in December.
What has prompted us to adopt? In response to God's mercy towards us in Christ, we are compelled to obey his calling to "care for the widow and orphan" (James 1:27). God desires for orphans of all nations to be loved, cared for, and adopted into Christian families—ultimately so that they might know of the adoption found in the family of God through Jesus Christ. Only because of His gospel work in our lives, do we run after Matthew and draw him into our family as Jesus did for us.
We are so thankful for the many friends and family members who have already encouraged us, prayed for us, and supported us. We have set this page up to cover our remaining estimated expenses as we prepare to travel in a few weeks.
Thanks for taking the time to consider supporting us, and please keep us in your prayers as we become a family of 4!
With much love and thankfulness,
Dave, Allegra & Nathan Vosseller
