Fundraising Dinner/Silent Auction

I have wanted to write a blog post at least every other day for several weeks but life is flying by.
I have no news from our agency or Honduras. But our family coordinator has said that no news is usually good news. So, let the wait continue.
We have been working hard on the fundraiser we are having. And I realized recently that I haven't blogged about the event and that I need to so that we can get more prayer coverage.
We are having a Honduran Dinner/Silent Auction on Sunday, August 12 at 6pm at our church. We have a local chef that is donating his time to prepare the meal. We have a gal that is working on getting all the food donated. We have musicians that are working on songs for the evening. We have great friends that have volunteered to be the auction manager. And we have an amazing list of donations for the silent auction. All the money we receive for these items goes to our adoption. Here is a sneak peak! (If you are interested in making a bid on any of the items or want more information about them, leave a comment or email me.)

• Dallas Cowboys tickets (vs. Saints) on Dec. 23 which comes with 2 nights of hotel accommodations and 1 restaurant gift certificate
• $1,000 gift certificate to Santa Fe Web Programming for website development or redesign
• Angel Fire vacation accommodations for 3 nights from Kokopelli
• Paintings by Glen Strock, George Stumpf, Laura Herndon, and Jim Gensheer
• Jewelry by Roark Griffin
• Moroccan furniture 
• Homemade crochet blanket, jewelry, pottery, and soap
• Scarves
• Bird feeding basket from The Feed Bin
• Personal tax return
• Cookbooks by Pam Anderson
• Fashion items
• MapCap fresh roasted coffee kit
• $200 Santa Fe Baby gift certificate
• Pink Ugg Boots (size 7)
• Photo by Joe Fammartino
• Southern Living at Home decor
• Black Ferragamo Purse
• and more!

So, we have a big task in front of us. And we would love for you to pray for the food prep, the donations to come in, that all the details would come together, and that people would come!

We are doing this dinner/silent auction for two reasons. First, because we lack about $27,000 to be able to pay for this adoption and we need our community's help. And second, because we believe in adoption deeply and want to share that vision with those around us. Pray that both of these will happen.
