Greetings dear Christian friends,
I am going to wait until I get the US to share some of my thoughts today. Grandma and I did go to the "protection" center gate and made good contacts. I am convinced that David knew we were there and the kids would be greatly blessed to know I have not left yet. The kids do know my schedule though and that I would just shorten my trip to the US so as to come back sooner. Pray about my US plans, there will be much to do with HOLT and if I need to work with a "go between" entity also, I will need to work on that. Pray for me. I have often believed that God has put me in situations where HE wants to use me to do things that are not normally done. The Holy Spirit is fully capable of doing many great things through us as His children and I am trusting in HIM to direct me. It will no doubt be yet another "re-inventing the wheel" situation. Keep me in prayer and pray for the leaders to stay focused on doing what is right. Pray for those leaders who are "fighting" with other leaders who know what is best for the kids. I praise God that the initial leaders see that if the kids only want to be with me, then they are willing to allow me to pursue avenues to get the kids to the US. I know this can be a huge pride thing for them, pray for grace to overcome all that.
"Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me." Psalm 86:17
Please pray that God will make it clear with the process, approvals, important people involved and most important that Jesus Christ would be glorified.
I will share more when I get in the US. Ray and Blaza, Hannah, David, James, Rebekah, John John, Joanna, Sarah, Joseph and little princess Deborah. Pray about all the other orphans too, and I will share something soon on the Sierra Leone orphans plans.
