We are so grateful for
your prayers as we get ready to leave for China. Below are a few special prayers that we have. I am so thankful to have so many that will be
lifting us up in prayer.
Gavin and Garrett-
- Pray that they are healthy while we are away and adjust
easily to their new school schedule.
Pray that the extra amount of energy that seem to always have will
be channeled in to love and play toward each otherJ
Howard and Faye (my
parents)-
- Pray that the Lord would give them supernatural
strength and stamina as they chase our 2 boys around. Also, that they’d have wisdom on how to
restructure their life and activities for the next two weeks.
- Pray for protection as we travel and that we remain
healthy.
- Pray for our time in China to be a time of deepening in
our walks with the Lord.
- Pray for wisdom, peace and comfort when we face hard
moments with Ella Grace.
- Pray that we can determine her needs quickly so that the language barrier that we will face does not add to the anxiety and stress that we will all experience.
Ella Grace-
- Pray for God to prepare her for new life in a family. Pray that someone is explaining to her
what will be happening and that on some level she will understand and not
be afraid.
- Pray that the presence of the Lord would be so real to
her and be a source of comfort.
- Pray for her to be able to attach well to us & feel
safe with us.
Prayers for her birth
mom-

I will forever be
grateful for the sacrifice that Ella Grace’s birth mom made. Based on the information that I have, she
tried to care for Ella Grace but she was born too early and was too frail. God had a plan for Ella Grace from the
beginning and somewhere in China there was a woman being obedient to a God that
I pray she recognizes. My prayer is that
she has a peace about the daughter she still loves and that somehow, if she
hasn’t already, she will experience the love of Jesus and call him LORD.
Love that sweet smile:-)
