Ever wish you could connect with someone half way around the world? So often, we feel stuck in our own schedules and small existences and forget the amazing world around us. There are a mulitude of ways to reach around the world as you give toward your church's missions fund, as you sponser a child through Mission of Mercy or World Vision, as you stretch yourself and take a missions trip, as you reach for the orphan and care for them in their distress. Many of you, we know, do many of these things already. So many of our friends have missions hearts, sending their children on annual missions trips. Many of you are in your own journey of adoption, whether domestic or foreign.
The easiest way to become world-minded and reach a hand of mercy half way around the world is to pray. That is the whole purpose of this blog! We are so thankful for that. You are truly causing the heavens to move on behalf of two children who will become a part of our lives and a part of many of yours. Thank you for sending bullet prayers our way and half way around the world.
We are at the phase of waiting for Joshua to be moved from his orphanage, eight hours to Addis Ababa...to the CWA Foster Home. At that time, his second medicals will be done and we will be waiting on a court date! It's all so exciting!
At this time, the foster home is full. Many of our wonderful friends who are adopting children through CWA are traveling now or will in March to get their children. Some of them have court dates that need prayer. As they are successful and can bring their children home, we will see progress for Joshua. As their children leave the Foster Home, there will be room for our son! Please pray for these amazing families and the judges over their cases and their finances.
Also, we are praying for a quick referral of Julianna. We are into the second month of waiting and referrals are taking about 2-3 months for a baby girl at this time. We are praying that we are matched with our daughter by Easter. We truly want to bring both children home together and not have to leave Julianna in Ethiopia. Thank you for praying for her.
Thank you so much for joining hands with us and our new children! We speak blessings and favor and vision over your lives in Jesus Name!
We love you!
Kurt and JoLynn
