Adoption is a journey filled with hope, longing, and sometimes heartbreak. Tim and Rebekah Janke join us for a second time to share an update on their journey to adoption and what they’ve learned about Jesus’ love and care for them in these last two years.
Bio: Tim and Rebekah Janke live in North Dakota with their young son, Elijah. Tim is a veterinarian at a local veterinary clinic and loves caring for “all creatures great and small.” Rebekah is a trained Lutheran school teacher and currently works as an instructional coach for other teachers at her local middle school. Together, their family loves outdoor activities, including camping, hiking, and fishing. They’re active in their local church and have a special heart for children and passing along their faith.

We believe that God is the author and sustainer of all life. We also know it can be hard to speak about the intrinsic value of that life when it feels like the world is trying to drown us out.
We’re right here beside you. In this podcast of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Life Ministry, we’re coming alongside one another as a community of Christ’s redeemed people, ones who are speaking up for and living out the sanctity of human life. Together we’ll explore life issues in a way that honors our heavenly Father’s value of human life, serves our neighbor, and connects us to others who are doing the same. Join us, so that together we can be friends for life.
