International Adoption

During the past two years, the people of Antioch Community Church have been stirred by God for international adoption. However, international adoptions typically range from $20,000 to $30,000. We believe this cost has been the greatest hurdle for families that are interested in adopting.

As we prayed about what part we could play in reaching orphans and facilitating adoptions, God led us to Cathy Sones, director of Generations Adoptions. We found a spirit-led agency that was willing to collaborate with Antioch, and a partnership was birthed to facilitate international adoptions through the local church.

Our idea is to utilize people within the local church, namely social workers, doctors, lawyers, and missionaries, to fill the necessary roles that make adoptions possible. This will be done under the direction of an excellent and experienced adoption agency. Through these efforts we will be able to help families in our churches overcome the financial barriers to international adoption.

How can YOU be involved?

1. PRAY: Please pray that God would lead and direct our ministry. Also, pray for God to provide loving and caring homes for the many millions of orphans around the world.
2. SKILLS: To make these adoptions possible we are in need of your skills and expertise. We are looking for doctors, lawyers, psychologists, web designers, and graphic artists.
        - Interested in helping? Email Heather McAnear.
3. GIVE: As you know, adoptions can be costly. Please take the time to pray and consider donating to this initiative and the families that we are serving.
        - To donate, please contact the Antioch offices at 754-0386.
