Court Date

Friday afternoon we learned that Faith's case will go to court on Wednesday, April 14th. The judge will made a decision at this hearing to approve our adoption. Please pray that the hearing is able to occur on the 14th and that her case passes through easily the first time. We continue to rejoice that God has protected her health thus far and pray that we can get her home soon for medical treatment. Consider fasting and praying with us this Tuesday in preparation for the court hearing. We are so thankful for all the love and encouragement we have received from all of you...it truly does help keep us going.


Isaiah 58
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?

Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.

The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
