Praise Report!

         Yesterday came and went with no CARA approval due to offices being closed. We did find out that my birthday is a national holiday in India (this year at least the date moves similar to Easter). The holiday that happened was Eld al-Adha "The Feast of Sacrifice" during which Muslims pay respect to Ibrahim "Abraham" and his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac in the view of Christians, however in Islam Ishmael is believed to be the son that was spared by God. They kill a cow or a ram and eat 1/3 of the meat, 1/3 of the meat goes to neighbors, and 1/3 to the poor.

Praise Report:    

      We shared how we had a friend who had offered a matching grant up to $500. We have been so blessed to have reached this $500 and got 100% of the matching. That is an other $1,000 in our adoption account. Praise to God above!! We have been blessed with so many people coming along side us in prayer and monetary support for this sweet little man that we pray to be matched with. Adoption is hard, expensive, and time consuming. We could not do this with out our tribe! 

 Prayer Requests:

•  Current estimated need to completing adoption is $20,747. 
• CARA approval
• To be matched with our sweet boy
• "Isaiah's" health and wellness while in the orphanage
