Prayer!

One of the reasons we decided to set aside a specific day of prayer and fasting last week, was because we learned through A Place Called Simplicity (a blog written by an wonderful adoptive mom) that many believers were joining together that day to pray for orphans. The most awesome part of praying and fasting is that it gives us direct access to see God’s goodness. When I join with other believers in this way, I REMEMBER to pray for the things God has placed on my heart and, better yet, I REMEMBER to check up on those things to give HIM the glory for the answer. During this time, we did see God move in some amazing ways. Feel free to hop on over to Linny’s Blog and read all about it. It is so worth your time. It is my privilege to continue to pray for the people in our church and in the adoption group. Here are some prayer requests and praises for those of you who want to join with us!




Prayer update:



Please pray for the Paige Family. The court is due to terminate the parental rights of John’s biological mother on Wednesday, September 22 in the morning. Once that is completed, John will no longer have to have visits with her. The visits are very traumatic for John and his parents.



Praise for the Power family! Baby Mathew is adorable and was the highlight of this month’s adoption meeting!



Praise for Kevin and Leslie Crosby as they have finished their homestudy and are waiting for a referral for an emergency placement.



Pray for the Russu family as they are seeking the agency that would be the best fit for their family.



Pray for Rebecca Stark as she is in process of getting licensed.



Pray for the Huck family as they search for the best place to care for their daughter Janice.



Pray for the Morefields, for their discernment about how they should proceed.



Pray for the Goehring’s possible move so that they can begin the adoption process again.



Pray for all of those who have adopted children with “special needs” and for them to have the help and patience they need.



Pray for everyone who is in process of getting their homestudies done (please add your name if you are willing to share. I didn’t permission to share from everyone…yet!)



Pray for all of those who are considering the process that they will wait patiently on God’s timing.



Pray for the kids who will be coming into our families – for their safety, for their security, for their piece of mind, for them to have hope.



Pray that through the adoption process that all of us would see God’s work.
