“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 18:19

On July 21, 2008 I posted about a prayer ministry for the orphans that I was starting. I asked my “weirdo” friend (Jen) to join me. We soon added two more sweet intecessors (Marianthe and Lori) to the prayer team. Almost immediately after posting about the ministry I got an email…then another….then another….etc.

The very first request was from a family who were in the process of adopting a Waiting Child and their agency had given them a referral. Only the referral wasn’t quite like they had envisioned….so they needed prayer…Was this little one the one for them?

I emailed her back and told her we would pray in earnest for wisdom, discernment, etc.

I get goose bumps and teary-eyed just thinking about it as I type. See, either way, we were praying for wisdom for them and a home for that little one….it was a win-win! I got an email back from Jen after I sent her the request and she said she felt it was an absolute “yes” and as I prayed I, also, immediately felt like this was the little one for them. We, of course, kept our thoughts to ourselves. What would God tell them?

We pray daily for these requests and take it very seriously that people have entrusted their personal lives with our prayer team. When I send the requests to our little group of intecessors I keep them as anonymous as possible. If you are interested in being part of this prayer team, please just email me at: PrayerThatMovesAMountain@yahoo.com

Anyway, back to the story….About a week later I checked in to see how the decision making process was going….and she soon sent me an email with their new little ones picture – the very one that we had prayed for – who, by the way, is absolutely adorable and looks so much like their only special need is their very own mommy and daddy!! Yippee Jesus!!! We are thrilled for them and cannot wait to follow their journey.

Why does God want us to pray together for things? Who knows!! I just know He seems to get a total kick out of it when we agree together for things. It’s His plan that we grow together, pray together and play together, all the while simply loving each other! Yipppee Jesus!!
