Big Big News - We Heart The Titus Task... and You!

We are extremely delighted to share the letter below. We love you all and are so grateful for the continued support of our adoption efforts!

Dear Friends of Tony and Rochelle,

The Titus Task is excited to announce that the Franco Family has been chosen to receive a matching grant for their adoption. The Titus Task is a registered 501c3 organization dedicated to pursuing a future for orphans. One of the ways we do that is by raising funds and giving child specific adoption grants to NW Arkansas Families. Since 2009, we have given over $100,000 to 18 families in NW Arkansas.

We would like to ask you, as friends and family of Tony and Rochelle, to help us make a difference in the financial aspect of their adoption. The Titus Task will give one dollar for every dollar that is donated by friends and family up to $2,500, making the total amount to be given $5,000(or more)!

Most of our board members are adoptive parents and we know first hand what a wonderful gift of encouragement it is for the financial burden to be lessened during adoption. Caring for the orphan happens in many different ways - please know that your gift makes a huge impact!

Tony and Rochelle are living out their faith in caring for a child from Thailand. Will you join us in showing love for this family and their child?  We are excited to partner with you as we witness the miracle of adoption and watch as God provides for those He loves so deeply. May He be glorified.

To make a Tax Deductible donation by Paypal please use this link  http://www.thetitustask.com/franco-family.html or mail checks to the address below. Please make donations by May 6, 2013. Thank you for your consideration and generosity!

Warmest Regards,

Joy

Kids bring us joy!
Ours, yours, the ones we will be blessed with!

What brings you Joy?

Nehemiah 8:10

Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Pslams 28:7

Also, it would bring me joy to see you doing the movements to the flash mob....
Yes you!
And 100 of your closest friends!  (Dream big eah?)

Lets bring awareness of the orphan today together!

Our Psychological Evaluation!

Our Psychological Evaluation!

We went a few weeks ago to see a guy about our ....Psychological situation....  This is a requirement with our dossier.
We met with a guy and talked with him about who we are and then we took a couple tests.

Then waited!  To see if we were okay?

Thanks Dr. CL

Turns out we are sane and we got a lovely letter from him!

We are so thankful to live in a community that supports adoption, something we believe is close to God's heart!

There are to many kids with no family's.

What are you going to do about it?
Help us make one less.
Support our adoption by participating in our flash mob!
Tell a friend.
Say a prayer.  For our kido in Thailand!  For us! For Sage and Jasper


So now~ on to the Arkansas State Govener's office for Authentication...

Franco Flash Mob?

So,
We are not above doing a dinner and silent auction.  Those things are super valid fund raisers.
But, we want to think out side the silence.  I love being a bit loud!
We are gonna do a flash mob! 
We are gonna charge 25 dollars a person to do the flash mob. (ok cap at 50 per family)  ( I hope and pray we get at least 100 people signed up)  
We will have 2 performances....
We are gonna ... Well i cant give everything away!
Can i?  
No.


So, I was thinking it would be great if your group (youth group, choir, marching band, cooking club, missions trip, theatrical group, ... well you get the picture) 

If you live in our town to do it here with us...and if not...do it at your church or your mall.(you must ask the mall/or your church leadership about this)  and we could exchange pic's and video's of this fantastically cool Flash Mob thing
. 
{This is perfect if you live out of town..(ahem..mom) and wanted to participate...mob your church}
So, if you are interested in this email me or message me at the end of this post! OK!!!!


I'll be  making the video and putting it up on YouTube in the next week or 2.

Think of this fun thing as gathering as a family to work toward a goal...learn the dance with friends...be a community with us! Mmmmmm K!

Ciao,

More Hope

Psalm 71:14 (New International Version) 
But as for me, I will always have hope; 
I will praise you more and more

On the plus side!
God's Got this!
