New Seasons

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:

Ecclesiastes 3:1

New Seasons

After 12 years Pages for the Dark Horses is going to be finishing our advocacy work. We will not be introducing any more new children but will slowly say goodbye (or hopefully Yay!) to the children currently on our list through July 2025. 

What has Been

Pages for the Dark Horses was founded out of my desire to do something for orphans. In my early twenties all I could see were the things I couldn’t do: adopt, foster, international missions… yet, there was one thing I could do, pray.

I realized that there were likely other people out there just like me and so I decided to make prayer a corporate opportunity and our Dark Horse program was born.

Over the last 11+ years

415+ children featured

211 found forever families*

51% of children prayed for found families!

*We were not able to keep track of all the children we featured and some may have found families at a later time.

The number I know for certain is that 100% of the children we’ve prayed for have forever had their lives touched by those prayers.

Continuing in Prayer

Whenever we said “goodbye” to a child we always gave you the option to continue in prayer for them. The same is true now. Below is a list of resources if you would like to continue in prayer for waiting children.

Reese’s Rainbow

A wonderful advocacy ministry that features adoptable children, adoptive families and helps with fundraising.

CCAI (password)

This adoption agency has a waiting child list that is password protected but last I knew did not require a phone number to access the password.

Rainbow Kids (password)

This is a large database of available children from a host of adoption agencies. It is password protected but last I knew did not require a phone number to create an account.

AdoptUSKids

This is a large database of available children in the US Foster care system. 

Looking Ahead

We can try and put numbers on the amount of children we have helped, but we can’t put numbers on the prayers, tears, and cheers of all of you. At Pages it was never about the "numbers" it was about the children, each precious individual.

You can't put a number on that. 

Thank you!

Goodbye

 Art, Ross and Nancy

For You are my hope, O Lord GOD;

You are my trust from my youth.

Psalm 71:5

For over a year we've had the honor of praying for now 13 year old Art, 11 year old Ross, and 10 year old Nancy. Last we knew they were still waiting to be found by their forever family. 

Thank you for your prayers for these precious siblings. If you would like to continue in prayer we invite you to please do so.

Dear Father, I thank You for the work that You are doing on behalf of these siblings. I thank You for the great love that You have for them and for the plans that are unfolding even now. We release them back to You now with confidence. In Jesus' name, amen.

Goodbye Art, Ross and Nancy.

We love you!

And are honored to be a part of your story!

Vivian

 

O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave;

You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Psalm 30:3

Lovely Vivian has also been on our Dark Horse list for over a year. This precious little girl is still waiting to be found by her forever family.

Thank you for all of your prayers for this treasured little girl. If you would like to continue in prayer for her we invite you to please do so! Her information can still be found at: Reese's Rainbow Vivian

Dear Father, I thank You for allowing us to be a part of Vivian's story. I thank You for her precious life and for the purposes You have created her for. I thank You that in You she shall know no limits. We release her back to You now with confidence. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Goodbye Vivian

We love you!

You are a priceless treasure! 

Dark Horses of the Month January 2025: Paul and Eric!

 

Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!

Let them lead me;

Let them bring me to Your holy hill

And to Your tabernacle.

Psalm 43:3

This month's Dark Horses are Paul (15) and Eric (13)! These brothers hope to be adopted together before Paul is too old for international adoption.

Learn more about these brothers at: Paul and Eric

Please join us in prayer for these brothers!

Dear Father, I thank You for these young men and for the plans that You have for them. I ask that You would provide them with a family, whether through adoption or through surrounding them with support in their home country. Do not let them slip through the cracks of society. You know the needs that they have and I ask that You would daily be their provider, in each and every situation. Bring Your salvation to them and build them up into honorable and godly men who will lead with Your wisdom and love. We thank You for their lives and for the purposes You have for them. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Yay, The Siblings Four!

I sought the LORD, and He heard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:4 

I'm excited to share that these four siblings have been found by their forever family!

Thank you for all of your prayer for these precious children. If you would like to continue in prayer for these siblings and their new family we invite you to please do so!

Dear Father,

We praise and thank You for the marvelous work You have done. We ask that You would prepare this family to love these precious children. Give them Your grace, patience and endurance for the journey ahead of them. Give them Your vision and hope to see beyond the situations and circumstances to the beauty You have instore. Please prepare these siblings for the changes to come, give them peace and bring them healing. We release them back to you now, in Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Farewell children! We love you! And are rejoicing with you!

Yay Peter, Nathan, and Sarah!
