Please pray that....

- Safety for Mark and Rachel as they travel to Russia August 15 - 20.

- The bake sale will be successful.

- Misha will be safe while waiting to be adopted.

-IRA is not availble for adoption at this time. There is another family that is interested in adopting her as well. We just pray that she will become part of a "forever family".

- All the paperwork and details will fall in place.

- Mini dossier is completed and in Russia. We will personally deliver the remaing paperwork when we make our first trip on August 15th.

- The children will be brought into our home quickly.

- We will be able to raise the needed funds to make this happen.

- God is working miracles. There is still a lot of money to raise, we over the half-way mark!

- Continue to pray for the GRANTS applications to be approved to help defray the costs.

- That Mark will be able to take the time off of work to make the needed trips to Russia, that are required (2) in this process.

- PRAISE: Mark is able to use vacation for the first trip and FMLA for the second!

- That Misha will be able to come over on a summer program with the adoption agency. (This would count as the first trip.)

- This was not able to be achieved. God wants us to go to him for the first trip.
