The Journey of a Family Striving to Live Dangerously Surrendered!


"Surrendering means that we have come to the end of our independence from him, our reliance on self-sufficiency, and our insistence that we don’t need him. Surrender to God changes everything! Why add the word dangerous to surrender? Because we don’t surrender to a benevolent but impotent grandfatherly figure; we surrender to Almighty God —the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. C. S. Lewis’s character Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia depicts God as a magnificent lion —good, but certainly not safe. Surrendering your life to God is the boldest and riskiest step you can take. Being dangerously surrendered to God allows you to know him in increasingly deeper ways and to participate fully in his will. " ~Kay Warren

Need Prayers Regarding Desertion

We have had delays on some paperwork in Ethiopia. We need a miracle. Joshua's birth mother cannot be located. They have searched and searched for her. The courts now want the paperwork changed from 'placed for adoption' to 'desertion'. When they are changed, it will be up to a judge to do one of two things...approve the adoption with the new paperwork or require a 60 day wait. Please be in prayer for the judge to approve it immediately.

The courts in Ethiopia close for two months beginning in August. That would mean we couldn't have a court date or get Joshua home until late fall. This is just too long for him. Please pray fervantly for the judge over our case to approve our adoption without another waiting period.

Blessings and thank you for your support and prayers.

We still have about $6000 to raise now for our travel with the hike in airline tickets. God is a big God...able to provide. Thank you for praying.

Loving you all,
Pastor Kurt and JoLynn
