Be a Part of Naomi's Puzzle

Let's get ready to bless the Paulsen family with our generosity by helping relieve some of the financial burden they face as they follow the call to adopt Naomi.

Naomi's Puzzle Piece Fundraiser has the potential to raise $5,000 towards the total adoption cost. Here’s how it works:

We have created & purchased a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle (see below) with Naomi's picture and a special Bible verse, "For we walk by faith and not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7". It will be something the Paulsens are eager to display in their home someday… but they won’t be able to put the pieces together without your help!

For every $10 dollars that is donated for this fundraiser, you will be contributing 1 piece to the puzzle. Ken & Gina will then write your name on the back of the piece(s) to symbolize your partnership in making Naomi a part of their family forever.


You may buy as many pieces of the puzzle as you'd like. Here are some examples:

$10 = 1 piece
$50 = 5 pieces
$70 = 7 pieces
$100 = 10 pieces
$200 = 20 pieces

You may make your donation in one of the following ways:
1) By clicking on the online "Donate" button in the upper right-hand column of this blog. (These funds will go directly into Ken & Gina's PayPal account.)
2) By giving your donation in person.
3) By mailing your donation. E-mail Ken & Gina (kpgp1023@msn.com) if you need their address.

Thank you for prayerfully considering partnering with us on this journey!

The Journey to Naomi

Ken and Gina have talked about adoption for about 10 years. They felt God was leading them to it, but thought that they needed to wait for a variety of reasons. This past April, they really heard God's calling to do the "hard things" and start the adoption process. This process has been a huge step of faith for them, but along the way God has shown himself faithful.Ken and Gina started out by being invited by some good friends to an adoption agency's open house. The open house was to help find homes for a program called the "Journey of Hope" which had about 40 orphans that need to find homes in a six month timeframe. The entire family went and all of their hearts were broken that day as they viewed the pictures and videos of the kids. One of their sons wanted to adopt them all. And so the journey to Naomi began.
