"Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the
afflicted and destitute. Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of
the hand of the wicked." ~Psalms 82:3-4
WE ARE ASKING YOU TO JOIN US IN A DAY OF PRAYER FOR OUR KIDS STUCK IN DR CONGO ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 25TH.
Hundreds of legally adopted children are not allowed to leave the DR
Congo and come home to the loving families who are waiting for them.
Families are sending money every month to provide shelter and care for
their children, and to try to keep them safe.
The United
States has done some diplomatic maneuverings, but so far nothing has
worked. Thankfully, a handful of children who have serious medical
issues have been released from the Congo. But
the rest are still stuck there waiting for the DRC government to lift
an indefinite ban on exit letters for orphans – the last piece of paper
needed for them to come home. For 16 months now, families have waited
(im)patiently for DRC to start issuing these exit letters again.
Now there is violent unrest in the DRC. In the past few days, the
internet has been cut off, as has been text messaging, and a popular
French radio station has been taken off the air. There is violence
taking place throughout the country in protest of government actions.
Rampant poverty and violence make a bad situation even worse for our
children.
We need help from a power greater than these governments.
On Sunday, please take a few moments to ask God to protect them, and to
somehow open the way for them to be able to leave the Congo and be
united with their families. Pray for peace for their country and a
resolution to the conflict that will ultimately bless their nation. Pray
for the ban on exit letters to be lifted!
Please invite your
family and friends and churches to join this event and pray with us this
Sunday. You can just add people on the right bar ----->
WE NEED A MIRACLE! With God all things are possible! Let’s exercise our faith, and ask Him to help.
