"Therefore confess your sins to each other
and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
James 5:16
It is with extreme gratitude to God that I share today that Alvin's adoption has been granted! Patty's persistence with the Ministry of Health has payed off. The acting Minister of Health wrote a letter to the President and the Minister of Justice, asking special permission for Alvin to be adopted. We are so grateful for Mr. Gebro's willingness to address the President on this issue. We received word that the President was brought to tears after hearing about Alvin and looking at the pictures.
Alvin's adoptive dad will be arriving in Liberia tomorrow night. We look forward to the beginning of next week being a very busy time processing the adoption, visa, and moving Alvin out of the country!
We want to thank those who have been researching medical flight options for us. At first we were pretty discouraged when the quote for medevac was coming in at over $100,000. The next idea was down to $80,000...which was better. But are delighted that we have found a medical flight that would be willing to come in for $25,000! (IF the UN can write a letter saying that the airport is safe for private planes to land in.)
So in addition to praying for Alvin's health, please pray that the finalization of Alvin's adoption will go smoothly and fast, that the plane will be able to land in Liberia's airport, and that we would be able to raise the $25,000 for the flight cost.
Please donate whatever you can spare towards Alvin's emergency medical flight. Through PayPal you can do that right away. Just click here.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, do you SEE what our God can do through the power of prayer!?
GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
