Celebrate Children 2010 Banquet




Adoption Ministry of Youth With A Mission held its fund-raising banquet on Saturday, October 9th at the Tacoma Convention Center.  It was an evening to 'Celebrate Children' - children brought into forever families through God's miracle of adoption. 




We celebrated both domestic and international adoption and had the opportunity to hear from a wonderful group of speakers...

Brad & Amber Page
Brand new adoptive parents 


Jeff Butler

And the frosting on the cake? 

Over $50,000 was raised to support the work of adoption,
both domestic and international.

To God be the glory!
