Pray
Immediate Prayer Needs
- As we prepare to travel, there are 6 specific things of concern:
- Visiting the orphanage (Feb 15 ~ 9 PM Eastern)
- Getting Sophie’s Chinese passport
- Sophie’s medical exam
- Swearing her in as a US citizen and getting her US Visa (Feb 25)
- For God to be glorified in this adoption and the relationships that come out of it – come what may.
- For God to continue opening doors to relationships with people who need to help us and with people who need help from us
General Prayer Needs
Prayer is the basis for this adoption. Before we began the process, we prayed for months. When we saw Sophie, we prayed for weeks. Every form is filled out with prayer and sent with prayer. When my watch chimes every hour, I pray. To learn more about the role faith plays in our family, you can follow this link.
We invite you to pray for:
- our family
- Sophie
- her caregivers
- the process
- the Chinese and US governments
- the adoption agencies
- financial challenges
- quick approvals
- smooth travel
John 16:23-24 The truth is, you can go directly to the Father and ask him, and he will grant your request because you use my name. You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
Ephesians 3:20 Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.
