He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
Luke 1:52-53
This month's Dark Horse is 8 year old Salazar!
Salazar is said to have a positive disposition and is described at calm, curious and adaptable.
Salazar has lived with a foster family since he was 2 years old. Born with a low birth weight, he has some developmental delays. He does not speak in phrases but he utters single words. Also, he lags behind in the development of habits, skills, emotional and social development. But he does understand phrasal speech, feed himself, and his personal hygiene is well-maintained.
He is able to play by himself, but he also looks for the company of other children.
When we read about a child like Salazar we have the opportunity to see all that he lacks or all that he could be. Only the right resources, time, and love will reveal all the potential Salazar holds inside. But even if he never changed from what was shared about him above, his life is priceless and the impact even his quiet existence could have could never be measured.

Please join us in prayer!
Dear Father, I thank You for the treasure of Salazar's life. I thank You that being useful and fruitful in Your kingdom is not based on our physical or intellectual abilities. I ask that You would touch Salazar's heart with Your Gospel and the deep love that You have for him. Lead him to Your side that he may follow You all the days of his life. Open the doors for him and grant him favor that he may receive the care and provision that he needs. And please bring forth a dad and a mom who will see the treasure that he is and bring him home. In Jesus Christ' name, amen.
