L.I.D. in and L.O.A. needed

We received word yesterday we have our Log In Date. Now we are waiting for our Letter of Approval from the Chinese government. Please join us in praying that the Chinese government officials will be gracious and expedite our L.O.A. so we can get Eli home before he turns 14!!!

Also, just to clarify something for those of you who (out of love) have asked (or wondered to yourself), "Don't you think you and Shannon are getting in to more than you can handle?" Let me just answer your question this way:

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)

Luke 18:27 - "What is impossible for man is possible with God."

Philippians 4:13 - "I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."

2 Samuel 22:29-30 - "O Lord, your are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness. In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall."

Thank you all so much for your prayers. We need them and will continue to need them until............
