Call to Prayer – Taiwan – Psalm 113 Nov 01, 2017

Show notes

Join us as Herbie Newell prays with us for country of Taiwan.

Pray for Taiwan: Psalm 113

For the Gospel to go forth in Taiwan. Pray for God to soften hearts of non-believers and for the church to rise up.
For growth and awareness of this special program as we continue to advocate for children.
Specifically for children who have been waiting for a long time: children with severe special needs, older children, and sibling groups. Pray for families to move forward with these children and know the joy that comes with caring for and loving them.
That God would bring mission minded families for these children in His time and that He would protect waiting children in the meantime.
For the agency in Taiwan (Cathwel) that we work with: specifically for Franky and Jean… that God would continue to bless our relationship with Cathwel and that He would continue to give us good communication.
Pray for God to strengthen our relationship with Cathwel and grow our ministry in Taiwan.
Pray that our team would receive wisdom on how to run the program and how to best walk families through the process.
For both the families and our Lifeline team to have constant reminders of the Lord’s sovereignty throughout each of their journeys.
We thank the Lord for the hearts of the workers at Cathwel (the agency in Taiwan) as they truly desire what is best for the children in their care.
Praise the Lord that our first family, the Brown family, is home. Their process was incredibly quick, and they are so in love with their little one.
Waiting child: Alex- 10 years old (Male)
Waiting children: Sibling set of five-Obed, Olive, Oshea, Obediah, Omar
Waiting Child: Jesse- 8 years old (Male)
Waiting child: Kay- 13 years old (Female)
