Sing and make
music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father
for everything, in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:19b-20
Dear Staff and Friends of Caroline’s Promise,
By God’s sovereign grace and love, a precious three-year old
little girl was transformed from Xia YangXue, abandoned orphan to Abigail Ruth
Pawlowski, redeemed daughter. She is
accepted, loved, protected, adored, and valued for the beautiful child God
created her to be.
God’s mercy and grace
are a common thread in Abigail’s story. In His plan, God allowed many people to join
in this journey showing Abigail how much He loves her and planned for her to be
in our family. Caroline’s Promise is an
important part of her story. At the end
of December, we were praying for wisdom in how to finance the remaining $3000
of Abigail’s adoption expenses. We were
expecting Travel Approval from China
within weeks, and we were patiently pursuing God’s direction. On the afternoon of December 31, 2011 Rebecca called to
tell us we were the recipients of a grant from Caroline’s Promise. In God’s great plan for Abigail’s journey
home, the grant was for $3000! We
praised the Lord for this perfect provision!
Thank you for your commitment to caring for orphans, for
offering hope to precious children who have none, and for loudly proclaiming
Jesus to those in need of love. Thank
you for playing a vital role in our precious daughter’s homecoming. Our hearts overflow with gratitude!
Stan and Jennifer Pawlowski
