“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Revelation 3:8
This Month's Dark Horse is 15 year old Kipper! (He is nine in this photo)
He came to the orphanage when he was about 3 months old at which time they discovered he had hearing loss, with no other developmental issues. Kipper began “language recovery training” when he was 4 years old. At that time, his left ear was at 90dB, with his right ear having more hearing ability at 75dB. Kip had no language at 4 years old. He attended the language center during the week, then returned to the orphanage each weekend. He received hearing aids in 2010, and was soon able to repeat words and phrases. He is now able to speak in full sentences. Sometimes Kipper’s speech can be hard to understand, but for the most part, he can communicate with others with no problem. Kipper is a very smart boy, who quickly learns new skills. He has a fantastic memory, and can quickly recall passwords he has only seen one time.
Kipper is a very compassionate boy, who looks out for the other kids. One friend at the orphanage is blind. He and Kipper are good friends, and he is able to understand what Kipper says every time. He refers to Kipper as his eyes, since Kipper helps him so much.
Kipper is a sweet, active, energetic, and loving boy who wants to have a family of his own.
Kipper is from a country that has yet to resume their adoption program since the COVID outbreak. Please pray with us that this country will again open.

Dear Father, I thank You for this precious young man.
I ask that You would move in this situation in his country that they would once again allow families to travel. I ask that you would give Kipper hope and provide for his every need. Please the message of your Gospel to him and prepare his heart to receive the relationship You desire to have with him.
In Jesus Christ' name, amen.
