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.

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.

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.”
