Sacred Selections was started when it became so evident that there were many wonderful Christian families wanting to adopt, but lacking the initial $10,000 ~ $30,000 that it requires to adopt!
At the same time there were more Christians coming to us asking if they could help the children and the couples wanting to adopt.
Thats when it came to us... We need to provide a way for anyone to donate into a Tax Free Fund, separate from the church, where those funds would go directly to help Christian families adopt.
Sacred Selections awarded its first grant in 2006 and to date there have been 15 grants awarded to Christians. 11 of those families now have children in their wonderful Christian homes!
Sacred Selections has taken us on a journey that we never could have imagined! We have been able to have a front row seat to watch GOD make some seemingly impossible situations come together so that a little innocent soul made their way to the arms of a loving Christian family.
To see the outpouring of love and work in a cause to help our Brothers and Sisters and little precious souls brings tears to our eyes daily.
We are reminded of a little 10 year old girl whose Daddy stayed up with her all night so that she could finish crocheting a blanket to donate for an auction. (By the way that blanket went for $280!)... or the family that decided to donate Grandma's dresser knowing that Grandma would be pleased to know that her dresser had helped a child reach a Godly home... and the woman who decided to send a letter to ALL the merchants she had ever traded with asking for a donation only to receive within 24 hours 35 items for the auction.
It is this ingenuity, passion and selflessness to help a child that has made 15 grants possible and 11 little souls a chance to know God!
We look forward to meeting you at the fund raiser! We assure you that it will be time well spent and that the outcome will have an everlasting affect on a child, a family and the family of GOD!
