Recently our family has committed to pray for a 10 year old orphan boy (Emmanuel) from Liberia who is waiting for his adoptive family to bring him home. The family is located in Illinois and already have 7 children (2 biological and 5 adopted). They are eager to bring Emmanuel home as they have already adopted his cousin and they miss each other alot. You can read more about their story here.
Anyway, we have been praying that the Lord would provide the money ($8,000) to bring Emmanuel from Liberia to America. Naomi has particularly been eager to pray for him, but I think she's a little confused on the details. Her prayers have been going something like this "Dear Heavenly Father I pray for Emily who is going to adopt Emmanuel who is in the library and waiting to come home. Help them get the $300 to bring him home.
I know the Lord knows her heart and it is encouraging to see her pray with such enthusiasm for another child.
Please pray with us that Emmanuel will be in the arms of his adoptive parents soon.
Michelle
