Moving Right Along...

We attended an informational dinner at our church last week for families who were interested in hosting.  We were able to speak with a family who has hosted in the past and were able to get a better idea of what to expect.

After this meeting, we were able to look at pictures and a brief bio of the children available for hosting.  (If you would like to look at the pictures yourself, go here.  You will have to fill out some basic information and New Horizons will email you a link.)  We did have one child chosen, but in the process of getting things clarified, he had already been connected to another family.  =(  While this was sad, we are remembering that God is at work in this and already has a child in mind that will be a good match for our home.

So, what happens next?  Thankfully, we've already been able to raise enough funds to meet our minimum deposit.  We are also currently working on our full application (we've already completed a pre-application) that is due before we can officially host.  It has been a bit of a time consuming process, but we are steadily moving through it. 

Please pray for us as we continue through the next step in the process.  We have specific prayer needs listed below:

• Time managment in order to complete the requirements for hosting (application, house inspection, etc.)
• Selecting the child to host and ease with this process
• For the child!  We have been praying for this child since we first decided to host.  We don't know who will be with us yet, but we do know that God is at work in this process.  We pray that the child he has chosen for us will have a positive experience, that we will have a positive impact on his/her life, and for his/her salvation. 

Thank you for joining us in prayer.  Support in this way is SO meaningful.  If you are interested in joining with us as an "official" prayer partner, please get in touch with us as we need to include a list of prayer partners in our application.  We appreciate your prayers!
