As you know, its not often that we send out an urgent request for some help!!!! We are only doing so as a last resort as we have received an email from our agency that they are not going to schedule our embassy appointment, which is the final required step of completing our adoption, until we have paid everything.
What this means is this: We leave Ethiopia in a little over 3 1/2 weeks and will not be able to bring Solomon home with us if we do not get our appointment before then. According to our adoption agency it will take at least 2 weeks from their request to even get the appointment. We know they are able to make this appointment and give us a little more time to receive the final funds, and while I completely understand that they want to make sure they receive their full payment (which we know God will provide) we also know that their is a lot of warfare going on with this adoption, with the ministry, and with the family.
Solomon will have lived with us for 2 months, and it would be traumatizing to have to send him back to the orphanage and come back for him once it's scheduled.
Please PRAY for:
God to move the agencies heart to set the appointment now, and that He would provide the remaining funds in the mean time.
The embassy to have favor on Solomon and that his age would not be an issue.
That the Lord would move QUICKLY to provide the remaining funds which are approximately $7,000. We know that this is nothing to God and that this adoption is His will.
PRAY!!!!
If you feel led to help bring Solomon home, you can give online at http://duttonfoundation.org/

URGENT: GUEST HOUSE
We officially have our first guests. They are actually overflow from another well- known guest house in Ethiopia, and so God is amazingly bringing in funds already though we aren't officially open yet. They will be paying to rent our facilities and since they are licensed, they have all their staff, and are running all the operations.
While we are blown away by how soon the Lord has brought us guests, (we're not even open yet) we are also in IMMEDIATE need of a washer and dryer. As of right now we only have one pair of sheets for each bed, and no washer or dryer. In a few days, we have to change sheets, and are not sure of how this will work as we can not hand wash and dry 11 sets of bedding in one day!!!
We are again HUMBLY asking for provision from our faithful supporters. This guest house isn't just a place to stay, this guest house is a continual fund raiser for all of our ministries and will do a lot to multiply funds to feed more, clothe more, and help MANY MORE than we could ever have by just receiving donations alone!!!
If you feel led to help, please visit our DONATE page on our website at
