What’s new you ask!?!?!?

LOTS and LOTS!

Youcef (pronounced like Joseph with a Y) just arrived a few days ago. The trip to pick him up was safe. We're grateful for him!

Youcef

We are rejoicing at our newest addition, Youcef. He is just one month old. He was abandoned by an unwed mother according to the note left with him. We went over to GZ to pick him up (about five hours) and he was thin and jaundiced. His head was shaved so he must have spent some time in the hospital as well. But his recovery has been quick.

Please pray that he will continue to gain weight and get healthy so he can have his lip operation soon.

Lucas is here with us for a month. His family are visiting the States. Hopefully, they too will soon get news about their adoption paperwork being matched.

We've gotten word that the children left behind at the other orphanage are getting some better care. We are very grateful.

Here is Ezekiel and Ebenezer out in the sun...an amazing change. Father hears prayer. He cares!

A local sister and a foreign family are making visits. Hurray!

Daniel’s family is working as fast as they can to get their dossier finished so he can come HOME! Smile

Elijah’s family is “just” waiting for their LOA and then can travel to bring Elijah HOME! Smile
