In an effort to raise more funds we have decided to hold an auction which will be held on December 17 from 7:00-9:00 pm (doors open at 6:30) at First Baptist Church of Charlestown, IN where Scott is one of the pastors. In order to hold an auction you must have items to auction off and boy do we ever have items to auction off! In recent weeks we have received tickets to Holiday World, homemade items, artwork, exercise equipment, gym memberships, and so much more. What a blessing!!!
On Thanksgiving evening Scott received a phone call from a couple in our orphan care group. They had raffled off a 50" plasma tv (to raise support for their adoption). The couple that won the tv said they did not need it and to do with it what they wanted. The couple from our group was calling to donate the tv to us so that we could raffle it off! What an amazing gift and demonstration of God's family supporting one another in fulfilling our calling to care for widows and orphans. We will begin the raffle at the auction.
There is more to tell, but that will have to do for now. We are truly excited as we await God's continued blessings in our efforts to bring home more McDowell's.
God bless,
Scott and Jessie
