Update On MOWA Prayer Request

This was posted this morning by America World Adoption, our adoption agency, on their blog. Please continue to lift this situation up in prayer!  It will effect many children and their waiting families.  Your prayers are much appreciated at this time not only for our family but for all families involved in adopting from Ethiopia!  Our God is bigger.

Prayer for Ethiopia

America World is asking all families to be in prayer for the Ethiopian adoption process.  The Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs (MOWA) has stated a desire to reduce the number of recommendation letters they write each day for families in the court process.  The number of recommendation letters have already started to decrease and we anticipate this will continue over the next few weeks as the court, MOWA, and other entities meet to discuss MOWA’s desire to decrease the number of recommendation letters they write overall. 

Even as this continues to unfold, we know that the Lord places the lonely in families, and that the enemy does not want to see this happen.  Please pray that God will break down the strongholds set up against adoption, and that His Spirit will direct the decisions being made in the coming days and weeks in Ethiopia.  Pray for all of the families and children affected by decisions being made and that they will experience God’s peace and comfort through this time.

“In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”  Psalm 5:3
