God is listening

This is Hannah writing.

I know God is listening to my prayers for Delia!

I found another blog where she was posted! I was very happy to see a post about her! Someone else cares about this little girl, and God is listening to prayers.

Thank you God!

Brett

Like so many little ones listed on Reece's Rainbow, who need families, this little guy's face tugs at my heart.

There's not a lot of information on his RR profile. He was born March 2007, which makes him 4 years old. He has CP. That's it. No additional information. No money in his grant fund.

Every time I see him, his picture catches my eye, so I thought I'd share his picture. Hopefully his family finds him soon and puts an I've-been-found smile on his lost little face.

Answered Again

I wrote last month about a little one we call Sadie. She had lost her family and we were desperately praying for her.

I'm happy to say that our prayers have been answered...again. She has a new family committed to adopt her. I am so thankful that she will be rescued and she will be loved and cared for.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you.

Christopher's Family

I'm praying today for Christopher's family. They likely do not know about him. They don't know he's waiting...how long he's been waiting. They don't know he's been transferred. They don't know how desperately he needs them to find and rescue him. They don't know the joy he'll bring to their family. What a blessing he was created to be to them.

They don't know.

I know. Because I know, I have to pray. I'm praying for this beautiful, sweet boy wherever he is. I'm praying for his family to find him.

Jane at Flight Platform Living is sponsoring Forget-me-not Fridays to link up people speaking up for children who need families. I think it's a great idea! She has directions on her blog on how to join in, or you can click the purple button on my sidebar.

Jane is advocating for Francine. A sweet little five year old who needs a family.

To be honest, without Jane, I might have never noticed Francine. She held her up and now she's been noticed! I'm adding her to my prayer list. Hopefully others will too, and soon her family will be found.

Thanks, Jane!!

Opportunites to make a difference

The Bible Orphan Ministry has a new project going to raise money to buy paint for the largest orphanage they visit with about 200 children. The children are all away for the summer. The dismal place sits empty. Playground equipment, park benches, doors, floors...everything has chipping and peeling paint. Check out their post and pictures here. The Bible Orphan Ministry team would love to raise the money to buy enough paint to fix up the place so the children can come back to everything looking bright and clean and safe.

The Bible Orphan Ministry also needs ongoing, regular support. They visit orphans and share the gospel each week, and they need gas in their van just to make their visits. (Gas costs the same in Ukraine as it does here.) When they visit they need to bring something for the children, even if it's just a small bit of candy. They love it when they can afford to bring bananas or ice cream. I asked Alla about the cost, and she shared that for about $35 they can bring bananas or ice cream for 90 children!

It is possible for us to make a real, daily difference and be an answer to many prayers.

Yesterday, I learned that the Kimble's are not only adopting beautiful, Kathleen...but another little girl as well! Click on the button on my sidebar with Kathleen's picture and you'll go to her Family Sponsorship Page on RR and you can see her new sister! I'm sure any donations at this point will be a real blessing as they work toward bringing these two girls home.

Also, we found out two days ago that Teri Lynn was transferred. My friend, Brianna is her warrior. Go to Brianna's blog to see pictures of Teri Lynn before and after her transfer. It's heartbreaking. We need to get the word out about Teri Lynn. Many children are being adopted out of the institutions where they've been transferred. It's not too late for her to be rescued. Her family needs to be found NOW.

Please join us in praying for her, share her face everywhere, donate to her grant fund if you can.

Valentin

Look at this sweet little guy.



His name is Valentin. He's six years old and he really needs a family. He's listed here on Reece's Rainbow.

He is one of the many children that I look at and cannot imagine them living in an institution without a family. Valentin has hepatitis C, so if no one adopts him he will probably end up in an orphanage for older children until he's 16. Then he'll be turned out onto the streets to fend for himself. Break my heart.

Please agree to pray with me that Valentin's family finds him soon.
