"This Beautiful Inheritance" We've been awarded a Lifesong for Orphans $2500 *MATCHING GRANT*
Lifesong for Orphans will match "dollar-for-dollar" all donations made between now and April 17th up to $2500! Your donation of... $25 becomes $50! $50 becomes $100 $250 becomes $500 $500 becomes $1000 ...well, you get the picture! From Lifesong: "Christopher and Melissa have sensed God’s call and have joyfully stepped out in faith and obedience to adopt a child from Uganda. As you may already know, international adoption can cost around $25,000 to $35,000 and prevents many godly families from adopting. Lifesong believes God has raised up the Furnell family "for such a time as this…", and we have committed an Adoption Matching Grant of $2500 to help raise the funds necessary to complete the adoption of this little child. This means Lifesong for Orphans will match "dollar-for-dollar" everything the Furnells raise from their church, family, and friends between now and April 17, 2013, up to $2500. We invite you to support them financially to make this adoption possible. As a 501(c)3 organization, your gift is tax deductible. *100% of all funds raised will go directly to cover adoption costs--nothing will be taken out for Lifesong for Orphans administrative costs. Will you invest financially in the life of this precious child? It will be an investment with eternal return." You can make a tax-deductible donation toward our matching grant online! Give by Check Please make checks payable to *Lifesong for Orphans. In the memo please note your gift preference with #3335 Furnell Family Please mail checks to: Lifesong for Orphans PO Box 40 Gridley, IL 61744 **Please note that PayPal will charge an administrative fee (2.9% + $.30 USD per transaction). Your donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee. Individual donations $250 or more and yearly donations totaling $250 or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Receipts for donations under $250 will gladly be sent upon request. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. |
