Greetings in His matchless Name,
"As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. 36 Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him, 41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” 42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God." Luke 18:35-43
I want to make this simple. We need to pray from a victory position. May Jesus allow the 10 kids, Maggie, and grandma Guo out of China.
I love this story about the blind man begging Jesus to have mercy on him. It is such a comfort to know that Jesus asks us every day, "What do you want Me to do for you?". As we worship Him, He loves us and honors our prayers. I also believe He really does go above and beyond all we ask and think. Amen?!
1. Please allow the 10, grandma Guo and Maggie get sufficient paper work (ID cards, passports and permission to leave) to get the the US. We ask that you release them from this bondage.
2. Please let the Chinese authorities clear up the "sensitive issues" by just letting all the "problem people" out of China and to the US.
3. Please let the US embassy allow them to immigrate to the US and become US citizens.
These are the easiest ways to avoid embarrassments for the leaders here, avoid lawsuits, and keep all of us from talking to press again. In this case I would stay also with the kids and would make trips back and forth to continue to work on other opportunities to help orphans. The kids, grandma Guo and Maggie need to stay for 12 months straight to become full fledged citizens.
These prayers are a bold step in trusting in Jesus to answer our greatest needs. If He has a better and an above and beyond plan, of course we all welcome that. Please pray. I let the lower level leader know this is what I want relayed to the higher level leaders and hopefully set up a meeting to discuss this plan.
One thing we all know for sure is that the kids do not want to be here, they want only to be back with me. They pray this every day, they hope this every day and God knows we all think these plans. "Son of David, have mercy on us."
Ray and the 10, Maggie and grandma Guo all looking to this plan. Samuel will continue to contact the other orphans.
