Urgent Double Dark Horses!

I know it's not Saturday, but these two unrelated boys captured my heart tonight!

They are both LID (Log In Date) only kids and they're files are going to be returned to soon so I didn't want to miss out on my chance to ask everyone to prayer for them!

The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory.

You shall be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the LORD will name.

Isaiah 62:2

Ha is such a cutie pie! He is 28 months old, and he has one of the sweetest little voices you’ll ever hear. Ha takes lessons at his orphanage’s early education center and he loves it! He is close with his teachers and he beams with pride whenever he learns something new. He gets along well with the other kids, and his teachers say he has a very cute personality!

Ha has had surgery for his heart condition and thumb malformation. He has been in good health and he is not currently showing symptoms of his heart condition. Ha can walk and run. He is still working on his pronunciation, but he can say some simple words and has a strong desire to speak!

Please join us in prayer for Ha!

Dear Father, I thank You for this sweet boy.

I thank You for the light that radiates out from him.

I pray that His life would be filled with the Light of Christ.

And that his little heart would know Your love through the love of his forever family.

Please bring them forth quickly.

In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,

Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

Romans 10:14-15

Little Wan will melt your heart! He just turned 2 years old in March. Wan’s nannies say everyone who meets this sweet boy falls in love with him! He is adorable, smiley, and he seems to get along well with everyone. He loves to be outside, and he has so much fun playing on the lawn or in the leaves.

Wan can crawl, walk, run, and jump. His nannies feel that his cognitive abilities are average and that he has good language abilities. His speech is a little unclear, but he can use simple words and phrases to communicate his needs.

Please join us in prayer for Wan!

Dear Father I pray that You would rescue this little boy from that place!

That You would bring him into a home and a family that will surround him with Your love.

I thank You for the plans that You have or him and that You have called him.

In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

(I recommend watching it with the sound turned down. There's a child screaming in a tantrum in the background.) 

Dark Horse of the Week Sarah!

Be my strong refuge,

To which I may resort continually;

You have given the commandment to save me,

For You are my rock and my fortress.

Psalm 71:3

This week's Dark Horse is 4 year old Sarah!

Sarah's Chinese name means Joyful Summer and she's said to be a beautiful little girl with a ready smile!

Sarah came to the orphanage as a premature infant with congenital cataracts. Here’s what Sarah’s caregivers report:

Sarah is an active little girl, who has agile actions, walks steadily, likes to walk around in the room, and approaches the caretakers who all like her very much. 

Sarah likes to play with toys that make sounds, listen to music, and play games with caretakers.

She has quick response, is familiar with caretakers in the room and can distinguish them by their voices. She understands her caretakers’ words, but is unable to speak yet.

Sarah dislikes playing with children in the room.

From a video I previously saw of this little girl, you can tell she is strong willed, which can seem intimidating to prospective parents, but in light of her blindness, she's going to need that strength to face all the closed doors this world is going to offer her. 

Please join us in prayer for Sarah!

Dear Father, I thank You for this precious daughter and for the mighty plans that You have for her.

Please give her a family who will be able to support her, fight for her, and stand by her.

I thank You for the victory and salvation that You are going to bring to her life.

In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Dark Horse of the Week Olaf!

“Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:

1 Kings 8:28

This week's Dark Horse is 5 year old Olaf!

Olaf is an adorable little guy who really needs an updated picture! 

At 13 months Olaf was growing, and developing well. He was crawling and standing with one hand supported. He could stand for long periods of time. 

Olaf loves toys, and he really loves his nanny! He could imitate words, and his favorite toy was a toy cell phone. 

Olaf has strabismus (crossed eyes) which can be corrected; either with glasses, or an outpatient surgery. 

Please join us in prayer for Olaf!

Dear Father, I thank You for Olaf.

I ask that You would bring forth a family to treasure him.

I thank You for the plans that You have for his life, and that even though his information is outdated, You know right where he is at this very moment.

Please meet his needs.

In Jesus Christ' name, amen.

Dark Horses of the Week Suzy, Toby, Selina, Shayla!

He will bless those who fear the LORD,

Both small and great.

Psalm 115:13

This week's Dark Horses are 13 year old Suzy, 12 year old Toby, 10 year old Selina, and 8 year old Shayla!

Suzy just turned 13 and is said to be a sociable young lady who loves her siblings very much

She is a friendly and energetic child. She is responsive when asked to do something and comes to help when needed. She enjoys drawing, listening to music, dancing, as well as playing games with her peers.

Suzy’s right eyelid droops do to ptosis, a correctable condition.

Toby is 12 years old and loved his sisters, though, as you will see in the video, he’s a little bit above their girlish games. In general, Toby enjoys drawing and participating in games, along with the other children. Toby is progressing very well in catching up to grade level in school.

Selina is 10 years old and full of energy! She needs extra help with her school work but she is excellent at drawing and arts and crafts.

Shayla is 8 years old and enjoys running, playing, and singing. She likes school, except, maybe, for math.

Shayla gets along well with everyone, but she especially loves her brother and sisters!

Please join us in prayer for these siblings!

Dear Father, I thank You for these precious children.

I ask that You would bring forth just the right family for them.

A family that will treasure them and teach them how to walk with You.

In Jesus Christ' name, amen.
