Rise Today Inspirational Podcast Ep. #14: Beth Anne Negal

Meet Beth Anne Negal who tells us about the struggles and the joys of the process of adoption, and how her wonderful family has thrived through it all.

While studying at SAU, Beth became aware of the devastation experienced by children from trauma. Brokenhearted, she would say, "Someday I'm going to buy a fancy hotel and fill it with children who have been abused and neglected. They will be loved with the love of Christ and treasured beyond measure."

More than a decade later she and her husband, Rich, found themselves in the exceedingly agonizing trenches of infertility and loss. The Spirit brought to mind Beth's college dream of ministering to hurting children. Through much prayer, and the seeking of wise counsel, the Nagel's chose to adopt a sibling group of three children. ​

After answering the call to adopt special needs children, she chose to suspend her public ministry to serve her family as a homemaker, homeschooler, and homesteader. Beth finds contentment in seeking and serving the Lord-with her devoted husband-as a mom to three children, 40 chickens, 4 cats, and a rather needy dog.
