An Amazing Present At Christmas
At Harbor West Oahu we love Jesus and we love West Oahu. One way those two collide is by our church loving foster care and adoption. We have multiple families currently welcoming foster keiki into their homes, and some who are praying about pursuing adoption. Our pastor was adopted by his parents, and we understand that because of Jesus we were all adopted into God’s family (Ephesians 1:5; Galatians 3:26). So as we come to the Christmas season to celebrate God’s promise to send a baby, we’re praying more and more for God to send each of us babies and kids of all ages that He wants us to care for.
I love that God has given people in our church a heart to support families who are pursuing foster care and adoption. One family just got a call about a new born baby needing a home, and instantly had an infant in their lives. Our church rallied around them, and supported them through the transition. A week into it, they sent our church an email and said this:
I just wanted to let you know that there has been such an outpouring of love and service through God’s grace from our church Ohana. We feel so humbled, blessed, and supported. It’s ridiculously beautiful and reflects God’s love in such a clear way to others. Our church is clearly a place where people feel compelled to show God’s love through service like this.
Now you can also be a part of how our church supports these families. This Christmas, we’re giving toward our Christmas Adoption Fund. As God moves in families’ to pursue foster care and adoption, one of the hurdles that can be too high is the cost. We want to make that hurdle much, much lower so that kids can be welcomed into a safe home quickly. Please pray about giving this Christmas to help a child in West Oahu who desperately needs it.
