Prayer request update.

Thank you all so much for praying for us as we transition as a family of 6.

As we continue to move through this process please pray:

1. Please pray that God would be glorified in this process and in Gabi’s inclusion in our family.

a. Pray that our adoption would highlight the gospel.

b. Please pray that we would trust in God above all things.

c. Please pray that we would engage in this process in a manner consistent with God’s Word.

2. Pray that our adoption of Gabi would be a blessing to Gabi.

a. That she would get and love and grow in the gospel.

b. That she would get the physical and emotional help that she needs.

c. That she would attach to us quickly and trust us for what she needs.

3. Pray that our adoption of Gabi would be a blessing to our family.

a. That this adoption would help us to live by faith.

b. That this would begin a legacy of many generations of VanAckers defending the fatherless.

4. Pray that our adoption of Gabi would be a blessing to our church.

a. That this would help promote a culture of life at Grace.

b. That others would be willing to consider adopting and/or supporting adoption.

c. That we’d be able to keep the level of awareness up regarding the fatherless (and otherwise vulnerable) at Grace.
