paperwork and prayer

Another update came today regarding the paperwork process.  Thankfully, things are moving forward with the first few families getting ready to travel at the end of this month.

As I read the email update, I couldn't help but think, "what does that mean for us (and the families that accepted referrals after us) if they are just now starting to process those who accepted their referrals at the beginning of 2012?"  I mean, it's already halfway through 2013...!!

The answer to this question depends on the quota and the processing time.  Based on the quota, we should be processed this calendar year--if the processing time is efficient and timely.

That processing time is such a huge variable because it depends on the government and court officials processing the paperwork without delay.

So, would you join us in praying specifically for these officials? Pray that their hearts are filled with compassion for the children and families who are in limbo; pray that this compassion fuels them to do their jobs quickly and efficiently--allowing children to join their forever families.

"Prayer is where the action is."  John Wesley
