Shaneyfelt started making and giving away t-shirts as a reminder that God is Bigger. When the t-shirts became too costly\, Rachel developed a challenge for her small group after ordering the first batch of 1\,000 God Is Bigger bracelets\, asking members to give them away to a complete stranger. Within one week\, they had all been given away. Over the next seven years\, with the proceeds from GIBM merchandise and fundraisers\, over 500\,000 grey silicone bracelets have been given out worldwide to missionaries\, charities\, abused women\, the homeless\, for those who are hurting or lost\, or given to total strangers as a reminder that\, “When life gets big\, God is bigger.” The ministry is based on Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” \nIn August 2017\, Rachel Shaneyfelt\, the founder of the God is Bigger Movement passed away after a six year battle with mesothelioma. It was Rachel’s wish that the God Is Bigger Movement continue. Her family and friends continue to spread the God is Bigger Movement in her honor to bring Glory to God. Read more here.

SUMMARY:Children's of Alabama Adoption Experts Virtual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Adoptive parents\, social workers\, teachers\, occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals are invited to participate in a virtual seminar on Saturday\, Sept. 12\, led by experts from The Adoption Clinic at Children’s of Alabama. \nThe live\, interactive seminar will be held via Zoom from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. The cost is $200 per family\, up to four adult attendees. Registration for healthcare professionals is priced differently. For more information or to register\, call 205-638-6964 or email adoption@peds.uab.edu.  \nThis seminar is for anyone considering adoption\, already in the adoption process or works with children who have been adopted. Attendees will receive a comprehensive prospective on the unique challenges and rewards of building a family through adoption. Specific topics include medical challenges\, emotional and behavioral challenges\, and development (ages and stages) of the adopted child. \n“Certainly the effects of COVID and quarantines have been felt globally.  Our adoptive families have been impacted on multiple levels. For those who are waiting to travel to other countries in order to meet their new additions\, travel has been suspended until each country opens up again to receive international visitors. The waiting is a painful process for these expectant parents\,” said Karen Belcher\, clinical program coordinator and pediatric nurse clinician. “Fortunately\, The Adoption Clinic has remained open and available to come along side of these families during this crisis and provide the services needed to help them.”
