Saturday Sharing

Happy weekend, everyone! This has been a great week for the Hursts. They are currently at $1600 right under $2000 for the week!! --I am truly thankful for everyone giving and sharing this family's story.  I know that Katie and Craig feel the same way!
Want to donate? The big pink donate button on the left will go straight to this family through Sunday. After that, you can follow them and donate on their blog.  Soon, they will have their baby boy home for good!

If you have a minute and an extra dollar, take a look at Africa's family, the Phillips. They are also adopting....2 babies, in fact!  Ashton and Trey are a sweet family--show them a little love:)  Oh, and you can read about Beth and see a pic of her cute little guy, too.

Did you know that our Asia page has had close to 3000 views in the last 3 weeks? AMAZING!! Just think about it. If we all came back weekly and gave ONE dollar to the family of the week, we could bless them beyond belief! That is about 52 bucks per year.  For me, that equals 11 coffees. I can do that.

Enjoy this weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday!

A Name So Sweet

The week's over halfway over.....thanks for stopping by!
Here's a blog link to Katie Hurst's post. They are trying to think of little boy names! Fun:)  How did you come up with your kiddos' names? We chose names from the bible for our guys, but our youngest had to wait until after he was born before we decided--and yes, we knew we were having a boy.

Oh, did I mention they're already at $840??  (Update! $1240 and counting!!) So exciting! Thank you for your generosity--it's fantastic.

Use the big donate button to the left to share your dollar with this family. They'll be here until Sunday!

Hurst Family Update

The Hurst family is ready to have their little boy home. Jiang is in China waiting for them, too. He has some medical needs that will require lifelong care. The Hursts are climbing toward $400 already. (see update below) Let's help them break the $500 mark today!  Can you  help by giving and sharing their story?  Thank you--you're too kind.
I love learning about our Give1Save1 families....don't you? I think you'll enjoy reading about their journey.

Here's an excerpt from Katie's blog....


God has proven to me again and again that He is faithful. I couldn't tell you how we've come this far. It has been quarters and dimes and pennies and many, many prayers. It has often come down to the very days we had to pay but to this point God has provided every single penny we have needed.

Thank you for being part of their story! (and His story)
 
UPDATE: They are already at $650!! Thanks, everyone!  How exciting:):)

Passing The Love Around

Good morning! Thank you for dropping by. I hope your week is off to a great start.  The Hurst family's is---already over $300!! THANKS to you!
Here's a note from last week's family.....

We just want to thank Give1Save1 and everyone who donated toward the Lewis adoption last week! It was such a blessing to us and we were overwhelmed by the response. Now we want to encourage everyone to pull together and give to the Hurst family this week! Watch their video and see how you can be part of literally saving a little boy’s life.  It cannot possibly be easy, knowing your son is halfway across the world in need of medical attention.  Let’s help the Hurst family toward their numerous adoption expenses. Watch the video, give $1 (or more!) and pass it on to family and friends.  YOU can be part of saving a little boy’s life and giving him a loving family. –Darren and Jenna Lewis


Our G1S1 family is amazing--thank you for supporting these adoptive families and for sharing their stories!  It truly makes a difference.
Click the big donate button to give your dollar to the Hurst family and help bring their son home. Follow along on their blog to keep up with their journey.  Their kiddos have a blog, too!! Go show them some love...kids love comments, ya know!

The Hurst Family is Growing!

Good morning, all! It's our first day of school!!! Nerves and a few tears (we won't say who cried) were flying around this morning. Are your kiddos ready for school? We had storms and internet/power outages this weekend.  How about you? Did you watch the Olympics?? We did...I don't know what I'll do when they're over!


Welcome the Hurst family to our G1S1 Asia family. They are adopting a 4 year old boy from China. He will be joining his 3 siblings who are waiting for him to come home!  Take a look at this family. This little boy is in for some fun!!

Follow along on their BLOG, too!
Have a great week everyone! Thanks for giving and sharing!! Check back later this week for an update on the Hurst family!

I'm excited for all of them--aren't you?? This little girl is in store for so much love.
