How You Can Pray


Specifically, please join us in fervent and consistent prayer for the following:
(from the GLA website and also my own requests)
  • Pray that the Haitian government will not make any decisions regarding adoptions and the children in Haiti without consulting with the Association of Creché Directors.
  • Pray that in the absence of a Prime Minister (just stepped down after just 4 months in office), God will still move adoptions through the process and find a way for forever families to unite.
  • Pray that the orphanage directors will be able to consistently and fervently communicate the need of the children in Haiti for an adoption system that works well and reduces the time that children spend in an institutional setting.
  • Pray that the Haitian government will not ratify the Hague Convention without taking the time to make sure that they have sufficient staff and resources to handle the increased requirements.
  • Pray that UNICEF and IBESR will realize that adoption is an integral part of the overall plan to care for the children in Haiti who don't have parents who can care for them.
  • Pray that the children at GLA and the other orphans in Haiti won't be damaged by pending changes in legislation in Haiti.
  • Pray that people will rise up and speak on behalf of the orphans in Haiti and be a voice for those who can't speak for themselves.
