Dear O.F. Prayer Partners, Since I'm leaving until Feb. 17th, I just wanted to ask for special prayer again for HAITI and our children there. We need a miracle to know how to meet their needs. Pray for one (for example, a good church in PaP who would cover that work spiritually and to whom those running the orphanage would give account). The children are very, very needy at this time. I met some beautiful adopted children yesterday who we've prayed for many times. A miracle. May we continue praying for ADOPTIONS. Continue praying for our children in Moscow, Grace Home in India, for troubled youths and for a new work in Delhi, India. Pray also for children in Brazil & Thailand and how we can help. During my week away, I'll be praying much about O.F. and how to better reach the children during that time. Meanwhile, I wrote down a few thoughts that come to mind concerning our vision, hopes, goals etc. I thought you'd like to see them for prayer also : O.F. is concerned by every suffering child, every type of suffering that affects a child, in every country, everywhere, anywhere... We set no boundaries other that what is imposed by time, money, ability. The vision for O.F. is to reach more children, more effectively, working hand in hand with more "good" churches. We hope to get children off the streets and into "homes" of some sort, and to help more people adopt children. We hope to come alongside those willing to invest time into helping children. We hope to begin more Christian orphanages and to improve the ones we already have. (We pray to have a real solution for Haiti which is a disaster). O.F.'s values are purely biblical inasmuch as we hope to bring Christ into every aspect of our work and to reveal Him to the children. We plan, therefore, to continue being good stewards of the funds designated to us, to better minister to our sponsors, to have greater accountability systems in place on the field and to continue soliciting prayer from willing prayer partners. Please pray for O.F. & details enabling it to function i.e. that I could access the Internet from home (we moved). It's been a real problem (many have tried unsuccessfully to get us plugged in). Internet access is vital for me to run O.F. Pray also for my book -- coming out soon -- to touch hearts and help parents. And thank you for continued prayers for our son with YWAM in Mexico. May God use him to reach many poor, needy people for Jesus -- especially the children. (Pray also for our daughter who'll babysit our cats while we're away -- on my.......). Pray mostly, though, that the children will be taken care of fully and that more children will be reached. Thank you for praying. blessings, Janey L.
