“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

— Matthew 25:40

Today is the final day of our 7-Day Challenge — and what an incredible week it has been. We began with the story of the Auxt family, and the joy of knowing that Maria will spend this Christmas in the arms of her forever family, not in an orphanage, but in a home filled with love, safety, and belonging.

Throughout the week, we’ve revisited stories that reflect your generosity, stories of children whose lives were forever changed because supporters like you stepped in and made adoption possible. We’ve shared how your faithful support has helped children come home, receive medical care, stay with their siblings, and finally know what it means to belong.

______________________________________________________________

As we close out the challenge, we want to remind you of who your gift helps:

❤️ Orphans who long for the love and comfort of a family.

🩺 Children with medical needs requiring urgent care.

👦👧 Children with special needs, Older children and sibling groups: Children who are least likely to be adopted.

🏠 Children who need the stability and security only a family can provide.

🤍 Families who feel called to adopt but need financial support to overcome the barriers that keep them from saying “yes”.

Your gift helps them gain:

• A safe home

• A loving family

• Proper nutrition

• Medical care

• Education

• Belonging and stability

• A future filled with hope

Thank you for standing with these children. Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving. Thank you for believing that every child deserves the love of a family.

Let’s finish strong — together.

With deep gratitude,

The Connected Hearts Ministry Team
