He places an idea/vision on our heart that would help us fund our adoption. The idea was to have a shirt printed with a quote from David Platt. This quote tells our adoption story with Mei...to a T! That is why we love this quote....I thought, "who could design a shirt for us with that quote"...then God brings brother to mind and he uses his God given artsy talent to design an awesome shirt! Then I think..."who could print these so we can use this as a fundraiser?". Then God brings our friend Brad in TX to mind...he owns a t shirt shop and is willing to print for an awesome deal and ship them to us for free...so then we think," if God provided for the funding of these, we wouldn't have to take money from our adoption account and everything from the sell can go straight to adoption expenses and travel". Then...God provides all we need through two families who God has blessed financially. Not only did God provide for our shirts, he provided for our last lifeline payment AND for our China Visas! So God used the talent he gave my brother, the business he provided our friend, and financial blessings from dear friends! Too cool!! Is that not how the body of Christ is supposed to work ??
So here is where the prayers come in...we would love to sell 300 shirts but even more awesome would be if we had to order more than 300 and these shirts could provide the remainder of what we need. We are thinking travel/final expenses to be around $7-10,000. We would love if our friends would help us sell and promote these t shirts!! We should have them in two weeks. Please pray about buying a "Mei" shirt to help us bring Eli and Zoe home. We would be so grateful for any help!! I can't wait to post pictures of our printed shirts! Thanks for reading and following our story and thank you for the prayers and praise God with us for the blessings!
