Thank you, for joining with us this past year in prayer for these precious children.
2020 brought about some changes and challenges to the adoption process, with many countries having to temporarily close their borders. Still many amazing stories of the Lord's hand bringing families together despite the impossible odds continue to come forth!
Many of the Eastern Europe and South East Asian countries have opened again. China has still remained closed to adoption travel, but just the same families are still finding their children and we pray they will be able to bring them home soon!
This past year we celebrated with 16 Dark Horses as they were matched with their forever families!!!
Looking Ahead to 2021
After much prayer and discussion, we are following the Lord's leading to change our Dark Horse Program from a weekly child to a monthly child.
Though this significantly cuts down on the number of children we'll advocate for in a year, we're all excited about the more focused prayer we'll be able to give to each child. We'll still have our goodbye posts as needed, but when a child is matched we hope to be able to keep them up on our site for continued prayer. A child being matched or adopted is only the first step in a lifelong journey. The first few weeks, months, and years after an adoption are very critical and vulnerable times for a family. We see our new program layout as a chance to pray for these children and their families even after they are matched with each other.
We hope you had a good holiday, and look forward to partner with you as we got forth into 2021!
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
Matthew 19:14-15
