My wife loves to take pictures of our family.  One of our favorite features of the new digital cameras is their ability to multi-focus. Our camera evaluates 5 separate areas of the frame and automatically adjusts the focus.

In the past, our personal ministry has focused primarily on encouraging others to consider adoption, and we believe that this ministry has born a lot of fruit. However, we feel that simply encouraging adoption is no longer an adequate focus personally – or for the Church. Like the digital cameras, we need to multi-focus.

We believe that our focus should include:

• encouraging Christian families to adopt
• equipping those who are called to adopt to handle the potential challenges
• facilitation of adoption by Christian families
• post adoption support
• identification of local resources available to adoptive families
• encouraging non-Christians to embrace the adoption of their Creator.

Additionally, we believe that we are personally called to minister to those who choose to homeschool, and families with special needs children.

In the future, our posts here and the resources we suggest will reflect our new multi-focus.
