Hello everyone,

If you are planning on attending the upcoming Together for Adoption conference in Franklin, Tennessee, Brittnie Wilbanks has found a great rate at a great hotel. The room rates are $87 a night (or $95 a night for a balcony). This is a brand-new Marriott and several of us are booked. Hope to see you there. Here is the link:

Also, our first regular meeting of the fall will be Monday, October 12 in room E305. We will be recapping the Together for Adoption trip and planning / working on our fall project which will be up for approval this next Tuesday (pray for us). Details forthcoming!
This should be an exciting year. God is doing something wonderful with adoption and orphan care across the world. Seek His will and His strength as you investigate or pursue adoption.

Soli Deo Gloria,
Jack and Teri Lavallet

Adoption Seminar at the Night of Hope

Sunday, August 30, 2009

Dear friends,

Hunter Street Baptist Church will be building up the body of Christ with a special event called the 'Night of Hope' this coming Wednesday, September 2nd, from 6:15 to 8:00 PM. The event will be presented in a seminar-like format. The Adoption Ministry at Hunter Street will be featured as one of the "seminars". There will be two 45 minute sessions. We'd love for you to be there and to participate in our sessions.

Our speaker will be David Nasser and his wife Jennifer. As most of you know, David is a gifted and straight shooting evangelist most recently active with the Glory Revealed Tour; he and his wife Jennifer are also adoptive parents. David will be speaking on a beautiful and central doctrine of our faith, the Theology of Adoption, what God says about it and what hope it brings to you.


We would like any of you who would like to participate to come by our room either at six o'clock or at seven o'clock. We hope to be reaching people in the church who might not have ever come to one of our meetings, but who God is leading toward adoption in some role -- be it as adoptive parents, as foster parents, as supporters of those who have been called to these roles, or as those who are called to care for the orphan in any of the multitude of ways that it can be done. Your participation may be to simply attend the meetings, it may be to help us host the meetings as a greeter or a listener, or it may be to pray for us and our guests during the meetings -- the choice is yours... please pray and see where God is leading you.

If you are planning to attend, please let us know. We want to both serve you and help you plug-in so that you can serve. Simply reply to this post to let us know what God has placed on your heart.

We are excited about what God is going to do and to see the hope that he will impart to His children.

Sincerely,

Jack and Teri Lavallet
The Adoption Ministry at Hunter Street

Night of Hope
September 2, 2009

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:23-25


What is “Night of Hope?”
Many in our church family are struggling with issues that create distress, despair and a loss of hope. Our goal for the “Night of Hope” is to address some of these issues and give our church members reasons to have hope.

Blog Newbies Unite

Hello everyone,

Thanks for a great meeting tonight and thanks for logging on and setting up a profile. If you weren't able to make the meeting tonight but stumbled onto the blog through the invite we sent - welcome and please contribute. This blog has been set up through the untiring efforts of Matt Brown; its purpose is to establish a means of communication between families toward supporting those families in their respective adoption journeys. Matt has some ground rules that we'll post soon. At a minimum though, please set up a profile so we'll all get to know each other better.

May God bless you for your love for His children! Many more posts to come...

Jack
