Dear Heavenly Father,
As we begin this journey of trying to help the fatherless, we remember that before we accepted your great gift of salvation that we were once fatherless as well. We thank you for accepting us as your children and we ask that you accept this ministry as a token of our love back to you. We know that we can do nothing to earn your favor apart from your son, but the lessons you have taught us through adoption make us fully and utterly reliant on you. We long for others to experience the joy that we have experienced as we commit this ministry to you. If it be your will allow us to be a blessing to others and to see more children enter Christian homes that serve and honor you. We know that the adoption process has a way of refining us into who you want us to be, as families consider this choice we pray that your presence be felt in their hearts and that they choose to commit to your will. We ask that we are able to provide the resources to serve these families as they choose to serve you. Above all we ask that your name be praised through this ministry and that we make wise decisions blanketed in prayer as we use the resources you have provided for us. Amen.
