Prayer for partners on the ground, that the Lord will give them wisdom and direction in an ever changing environment

Prayer for the Lifeline team as we seek the Lord in how He desires for Lifeline to be involved in caring for the least of these in China
Waiting children- for protection and care as they wait to be matched; for protection and provision for children that may not be adopted or ever know the love of a family;
For waiting children in China to be exposed to the gospel

Praise the Lord for potential opportunities to travel to China
Praise the Lord for new files and families being matched after a year of waiting!
