Looking back...and moving forward

Thanks be to God
As we have now entered a new year, we look back with gratitude and celebrate God's amazing provision and guidance through these first few months of (Cover)ed becoming a "real" ministry. Our first fundraising family had great success in raising funds to bring their precious daughter home, and we are truly thankful to have been a part of their story. In total, their family sold over 50 towels and raised more than $750 dollars to help with the cost of their adoption. We continue to pray for them and keep up with their journey, and eagerly await to hear news of their travel and her homecoming!

In November, we had the opportunity to take part in a Holiday Market, where we sold many towels as Christmas gifts.  We also were able to talk with many people about our new organization and our heart for coming alongside adoptive families and people caring for orphans through financial and prayer support. All of our sales from the market, as well as our online and local sales through December resulted in us raising $240 to give to Holt Sahathai Foundation in Thailand. Praise God!

These opportunities were such a blessing to us and we know that God provided every resource we needed to complete them. Being a small part of what God is doing in the lives of adoptive families and orphans around the world is the best part about (Cover)ed! And we could not do it without your prayers, support, and purchases, whether from us or from an adoptive family.  Thanks be to God for these opportunities to be obedient to His call to care for the fatherless. Please continue to spread the word about our ministry to any adoptive family you know who may be seeking fundraising options and to your friends and family who may want to buy a towel.


All That He Holds in Store
We are excited about what God has in store for (Cover)ed in 2011 and cannot wait to meet more great adoptive families and many of you who want to be a part of bringing hope to orphans, support to adoptive families, and glory to our Father and Savior! Email us at coveredandsharing@gmail.com if you would like us to come to your church group, Bible study, or community organization to tell our stories about how God has changed our lives by opening our eyes to the precious treasures here in the United States and around the world who are in need of love, care, and forever families.

Sharing His Love,
Julie and Casey
