A prayer need for my son and his family

Thursday, August 2, 2007

Some of you may know our oldest son Igor. He serves in the US Air Force for the last 8 years. He is married to Charity and have two beautiful little boys; Antonio 4 and Roman 3. Cute right?

Igor and Charity are two of my heroes. One of the reasons is that they have been in the process of adopting these two little girls from Liberia for the last year and a half. They are almost at the last stage of this process, but really need your prayers right now. They have perservered through many challenges, but God has provided for every need so far. Please read Charities post below and please make time today to intercede on their behalf. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Please Pray
My dearest friends, family, loved ones, and prayer partners, please join me in praying for the country of Liberia. Satan has such a stronghold in this country-

We found out today that the embassy is Liberia has put a new consular into office (2 year term) at the US embassy in Liberia and she is doing everything in her power to stop adoptions all together.


Our timeline with the girls is very uncertain at this point because this woman literally has our girls' visas in the palm of her hand. There has been alot of corruption, alligations, and illegal activities with some of the other agencies in Liberia, and now AOH is paying for their mistakes.(AOH has never had ANY allegations of any kind)

Please pray for this woman-that her heart would be softened to adoptive families, and that she would not lump all of the agencies into one ball of punishment.
As it stands now, this could signifigantly slow down us getting our girls home, and could stop adoptions in Liberia altogether.
