adoption prayer Friday #4 April 20, 2007
This has been another encouraging week. The families who are waiting with us continue to come together - united to do whatever it takes to get our children home.
We are requesting a meeting with the Russian Consulate's office in Washington DC. We are working with someone at the State Department to help us get this meeting. We're hoping this will happen in the next few weeks. More on this later.
We're waiting to hear from the Russian family we met. They will be writing a letter to the governor of Irkutsk on our behalf. We hope that letter is delivered in the next 2 weeks.
Today is the 4th Friday we are fasting and praying for favor with all the entities that we (and other families) need to overcome to bring the children waiting in Irkutsk home. Favor is the key.
By fasting, we're not suggesting we all not eat for 24 hours. Some things our friends have decided to fast include:
the Internet
dinner out
sugar
coffee
smoking
soap operas
video games
When you think about that 'thing' you are fasting, remember our prayer for favor, and say a little prayer for Anya.
This week Kathy will be fasting all beverages except water and the TV channel she seems to be addicted to (the E! Channel), and Marty is going to try to get through the day without caffeine and sugar.
Our Faith and strength might not make sense to all of you. Phil 4:13 says 'For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength' - This is the strength that keeps us fighting to bring Anya home!
Looking forward to the incredible story that will come from our prayers!
Love,
Marty and Kathy
