Christian Isaiah was delivered to Open Doors Orphanage yesterday after an incredible day of movement within the court system here in Guatemala! We knew of two children yesterday (one of which was only 2 days old) that could have potentially become ours, yet neither of those two children did. Little Christian, however, found grace in the eyes of our Lord and is now safe in the arms of our loving staff! Christian's story is difficult, along with each of the children's stories we have in our ODO family. We cannot fully share his story yet until we receive the official documentation, but we hope to be able to do so soon. For the moment, please pray for Christian Isaiah, his mother (in police custody), and the incredible staff our Lord has brought together to be these precious children's family! Pray as well TODAY as we could potentially receive Maria Milagro, a week old or less baby discovered in a sewer filled gutter. Allow our Lord Jesus Christ to penetrate your heart as we ALL become HIS hands, feet, and the arms that hold "the least of these"!!!
Great to hear the update and to experience the orphanage first hand - thanks for all your work. Did you do any leg work on a shutterfly page? Want me to work it out?
ReplyDeleteAh Fig, I have not had any time yet to set up the shutterfly page! I am so sorry - we got so busy with the last few teams. If you would like to work it out (if you haven't already) that would be awesome. Thanks!
