Dark Horse's of the Month March 2024: The Five M's!

 
 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”
Mark 10:21

This month's Dark Horses are Micah (16) Madelyn (14) Melanie (9) Morgan (8) and Mathias (5)!

This sibling group is doing very well and are a very tight sibling group! Agency staff met them in August of 2023 and loved them! They also participated in winter hosting via another agency, and we’ve been told that they would do well in a family with other children around their ages.

Micah, the eldest, is an easy-going as well as calm and kind.

Madelyn loves her siblings and her friends. She is very sweet and has good manners.

Melanie is very resilient. She is a sweet girl who loves to play.

Morgan is a very affectionate little girl who loves puzzles!

Mathias is very affectionate and loves on everyone he meets. He also loves to play.


Please join us in prayer for these siblings!

Dear Father, I thank You for showing us these precious siblings and allowing us to be part of their story! I ask that You would bring forth a family who will be willing, even beyond their ability (2 Cor. 8:3) to bring home these siblings. I ask that You would fill their hearts with Your love for these children. That You would grant them the wisdom and patience they would need to support and love them. I thank You for the plans that You have for each child in this family and I ask that You would touch their hearts even now with a desire to know You. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Goodbye Bea

 
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

Thank you, for all of your prayers for little Bea. Last we knew she was still waiting to be found by her forever family. If you would like to continue in prayer for her we invite you to please do so, but we not longer have access to information about her.

Dear Father, I thank You for your love and care for Bea. I thank You for the plans that You have for her. We release her back to You now with confidence. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Goodbye Bea
We love you!

Dark Horse of the Month February 2024: Michael!

 
Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:1-2

This month's Dark Horse is 15 year old Michael! 

Be the Hope! Cry out on his behalf.

Michael is among the children who have spent the longest time on the waiting list. He has a positive attitude towards adoption, although Michael feels that in view of his age, his chances of being "chosen" are getting smaller with each year and he does not dare dream of this, so as not to be disappointed if it does not happen. 

Please join us in prayer for Michaels desire for a family!

Dear Father, I thank You that Michael has not given up hope. Though his expectations may not be very high his choosing to still pursue adoption says a lot. Father, may you meet him now in this place of waiting, may You touch his heart with Your deep love for him. Let him know that he is seen and heard. Father, we cry out on his behalf that You would move the mountains for him and bring forth a forever family who will be willing and eager to bring him home. A family who will be excited to have him as a part of their family. Put in their hearts the vision and urgency to bring Michael home. Please do exceedingly above and beyond anything Michael could have ever thought and his future family could have ever thought. Please bring them together quickly. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Share Michael's Story!

Goodbye Bradley

 
Let them be ashamed and confounded
Who seek my life;
Let them be turned back and confused
Who desire my hurt.
Let them be turned back because of their shame,
Who say, “Aha, aha!”
Psalm 70

Thank you, for all of your prayers for 16 year old Bradley. His information is no longer with the agency where we found him, but last we knew he was still waiting for his forever family.
If you would like to continue in prayer for him we invite you to please do so!

Dear Father, we thank You for this young man and for the plans that You have for him. I thank You that though we can no longer see him, You know him and have not forgotten him. We release him to You now with confidence. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Goodbye Bradley,
We love you!
It has been an honor to be a part of your story.

Dark Horse of the Month January 2024: Sophie!

 
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12

This month's Dark Horse is 12 year old Sophie!

Sweet Sophie longs for a loving home and for a mom and dad to call her own! She’s quiet and introverted, and she’s most comfortable playing with children she knows well. She speaks clearly and she can even recite ancient poetry. Since she’s not able to stand or walk because of her paralysis, Sophie hasn’t been able to attend school outside the orphanage, but she studies with orphanage teachers.


Please Join Us in Prayer for Sophie!

Dear Father, I thank You for this precious treasure. Please touch her heart with Your love and let her know how special she is to you. I ask that You would bring her into the light that her family could find her and that You'd move upon their hearts to bring her home. Please bring healing to her to all the hurt she's faced in her young life because of the choices of others. Redeem the time and as you promised, use for good all that she's had to endure, that she may have the chance to blossom into all that You've made her to be. In Jesus Christ's name, amen.
