Please pray with us!


There are some specific ways we would love for you all to be praying with us for our trip.
We as a family have been praying some very specific things for Gracie
and for our travel as well. We would be honored if you would go before
the Father on our behalf. He is so faithful and so mighty!

  1. That Gracie will have a loving nanny, familiar with her and her story , who will accompany her on the six hour drive they will take to meet us in Guangzhou.
  2. That Gracie will be healthy.
  3. That God will be preparing her heart to meet our family. We've asked specifically that He would give her a vision of us so that we will miraculously be familiar to her. Also that he bonding process will go smoothly and that God will minister to all 6 of us during that time.
  4. That we would be able to find out the details of how and where she was found in her home city. We are praying that we will be able to obtain a copy of her "finding ad".
  5. For complete safety on every one of our flights and on the train and any other forms of transportation that will be taken in China as well.
  6. That we will make all of our flight connections.
  7. For wisdom with the currency exchange and over every purchase and transaction that will be made.
  8. For safety over our home and house sitter while we are away.
  9. That no one on our in-country or international flight will have the flu or exhibit any flu symptoms.
  10. That we will not be quarantined or detained upon arrival for any reason.
  11. That we all will adapt to time changes and be able to deal with jet lag, especially on our return home as Gracie's days and nights will definitely be mixed up!
  12. That we would hear Gods voice at every turn, and honor Him with every word spoken and in every action. We want to see His glory at work!
"I will go before you and level the mountains to make the crooked places
straight; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder
the bars of iron, and I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden
riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the
God if Israel Who calls you by name.
That men may know from the east and the rising of the sun
and from the west and the setting of the sun that there is no God
besides Me. I AM the Lord, and no one else is He."

Isaiah 45:2-3, 6

Three years of our lives - Precious papers!
