Bible Classes Offered to Raise Money for Adoption

One of my heroes in the faith is George Muller. Muller is famous for the orphanages that he ran purely by faith in the city of London during the 19th century. What is not so commonly known about Muller is that he also founded the Scripture Knowledge Institute for Home and Abroad. The SKIH/A was a work that produced materials for disseminating the faith throughout the world.

I have an affinity for Muller because I share his love for children and desire to propagate the faith. That is why I am launching The Scripture Knowledge Institute of Ashland.

SKIA is designed to be a tool for home-schoolers and parents who wish to be aided in the discipleship of their Jr. and Sr. high level students. Through it I am offering classes such as basic theology and Christian Literature.

But I embark on this endeavor not just with the hopes of promoting a solid Christian worldview, but with the hope of raising money for adoption.

My wife and I possess a deep love for children and desire to raise as many as we can in life. Our first adoption has brought us great joy, and we have been longing some months now to have another child placed in our arms. But the cost of adoption is quite excessive as they run $15,000 and up.

I thank God for the church in which I serve, and I enjoy ministering among from week to week. But as our church is small, I am not able to earn much in terms of income. As a result adoption is not a feasible endeavor.

It is my hope that God will use SKIA to break this barrier and allow us to bring many more children into our own household and the household of faith.
