“Adoption Magnifies the Beauty of Eternal Redemption”

Grace Church of Memphis recently established the “A.M.B.E.R. Adoption Fund.” “A.M.B.E.R.” stands for “Adoption Magnifies the Beauty of Eternal Redemption” and was named in honor of Amber Mathenia, the wife of Anthony and mother of two adopted children. Amber went home to be with the Lord in January, 2008.
The A.M.B.E.R. Adoption Fund is Grace Church’s “more intentional effort of being involved in displaying the beauty of the gospel through encouraging adoption.” This new fund was created in partnership with The ABBA Fund. It’s purpose is to encourage and assist families who are pursuing adoption.
We believe that the A.M.B.E.R. Adoption Fund is a wonderful example of a passion for horizontal adoption (i.e., couples adopting children) that has grown out of a worship-filled understanding of God’s gracious provision of vertical adoption (i.e., God adopting us as His children) in Christ.
