From Jared and Haley Wyss:

Hello all!  We are so grateful to be a part of a church that is so supportive of adoption and help for children in need. We have the desire to adopt and have been overwhelmed by the love and care from this church family. Three years ago we began discussing and praying about adopting a child. A little over one year ago we began our adoption journey, completing our home study and now working with a company in Indiana. Our hope is to adopt a newborn and raise them along side our three sons in a home filled with biblical truths, love, and where the gospel is shared consistently! We would appreciate your support and prayers for the following:

1. Pray for the birth parents and baby, to be loved and cared for as well as safety and good health.

2. Pray for our family as we prepare to welcome a child into our home, for patience and trust in Gods perfect timing, and that we will ultimately raise this child to love and know the Lord, for God's glory! 

Thank you each for praying and supporting our family! We cannot wait for the arrival of a new little one and to share with you all! 
Jared, Haley, Garen, Tristen, and Asher Wyss

From the Open Hearts Open Homes Team: 
BCC's Open Hearts, Open Homes ministry exists to glorify God as we equip the local church to care for orphans, foster children, and at-risk children and support the families who are ministering to them. God is doing great things in our midst! We want to enthusiastically recommend the Wyss family to you as participants in this ministry. Their heart for the Lord and heart for the orphan are truly on display for all to see. Please pray for the requests above, and please consider giving toward this incredible opportunity to help the orphan. We are so thankful for the body of Christ, and we know how much prayer and giving has blessed past families. Thank you for considering this.
