I am sitting in the dark under my mosquito netting typing to you, my friends. I had been asleep {briefly} but awoke with a start. My back is really hurting, not sure why, but enough that I am unable to sleep. So I got out my computer and saw that there is some internet coverage{!}…

Sweet baby girl Evan is coming home!! Shouts of praise to Almighty God echo around the world…. the exact same Judge who just two weeks ago said, Kirill could NOT come home because he is “not socially adaptable” due to his “medical condition” {having Down Syndrome} and that he is better off in an institution…

Tesney, Kirill’s mommy posted this comment below just a {little while ago} in a FB group dedicated to “Saving Kirill” {you can join the group, I’m sure, just look for it!} “IMPORTANT!!!

I have been starting to cry all morning…. Did you see the comment left yesterday by Kaitlin? “A group of high school students will be praying and fasting tomorrow! We are spending our lunch hour in an empty room praying for these precious babies and expecting God to move!! He is so so good!” And…

The Rest of the Story {Kirill AND Evan AND even Baby J}

First, I am thrilled that so many of you have said that you will pray {and fast} for Kirill’s situation. But there is more to the story….. {and I now have permission to share it} As I said yesterday, the adoption of Down Syndrome children has been unheard of in this region of Russia. …

It’s been a while since I updated on little Miss Jubilee Promise. Today was kind of a pivotal time for Miss Jubilee, so I think today would be a good day to update on just one aspect of our treasure – since so many of you have asked. Living in a relatively remote area…

March 17, 2011 Linny Saunders13 Comments

Today is an extra special day. We get to. I’m not being funny or silly or goofy. Do you realize that much of the world has nothing to their name? Nothing. Really. They don’t have a spare set of sheets in their closet. Gracious – they don’t even have a bed for that matter. Seriously….

I’ve been praying and thought that tomorrow we ought to do something we haven’t done in a long time. I’m asking bloggy friends who are in the midst of bringing treasures home to link up. Tell us about the treasures you are bringing home and what your needs are. Then people around the world,…
