Bethel Memorial Service (Part 1 of 3)

This is a video of the Memorial Service for our sweet daughter Bethel. We received a referral for her adoption on July 8, 2010 and soon after she was admitted to the hospital due to severe malnutrition and intestinal issues. Her doctors and caretakers could never get her health moving in the right direction and on September 1, 2010 she passed into heaven.

We were never ever to hold her in our arms on this side of heaven but she touched our hearts in unimaginable ways and we cannot wait for the day when we are reunited with her. We were overwhelmed at the outpouring of love and support from friends and family for this one poor orphan in Africa. It is unbelievable and wonderful how God touched so many hearts and brought the plight of the orphan to light for so many through the short life of one little girl who didn't live long enough to say her first word. We are sharing this video to help give Bethel a voice to plead on behalf of so many others in her condition.

If this video touches you, then we humbly ask that you seek God's direction in how to respond... adoption? foster care? donate to World Vision, Naomi's Fund or Lifesong for Orphans? Give directly to a family considering adoption? Don't let the opportunity pass to make a difference.

Special thanks to Dr. Russell Moore and everyone who helped with the Memorial Service.

God truly loves all the little children of the world.

We love you always Bethel - Mommy and Daddy.
