semi/very urgent prayer request.

I was going to write this as a prayer request in the prayer letter I am about to send out....but I realized this is something that needs to be addressed sooner than people will get my letter! So if anyone reads this in the next few days please pray!!!

The book Dear Panama that we have been working really hard on is done, which is such a huge blessing and answer to prayer!! We have hard copies and we couldnt be happier (or prouder). They really express the beauty and struggle of the orphans in Panama. We really feel that God is pleased with the message of the books!

However there are two big things standing in the way of the story of Dear Panama being told in this beautiful country. One, we need the funds. We hope to get the funds by being sponsored by the government and getting the books published, which brings me to big-thing-standing-in-the-way-#2. The government doesnt allow photos of orphans to be published anywhere, and so for this book to be an exception would require the book to really speak to the heart of whatever government official it needs to speak to. If this happens, the book has a good chance of doing what we have prayed it would do...change things in Panama. Raise awareness so that these beautiful orphans have a chance at having a safe home, a LOVING family.

So please pray that when Matt and Misty take the book to be approved, God would move the hearts of the people reading it and it would funded and passed out all over Panama (and maybe even America!) so that God can do His work through the book.

How cool would it be if in the states people started having a heart for adopting Panamanian orphans? They are beautiful special children that Jesus loves! I think it could happen!

All we can do now is pray!!

Thanks!

In Him,
