There are over a hundred teens who have been in foster care for many years, their parents rights were terminated long ago and no one has adopted them. Some of them have such challenging behaviors that there seems to be no hope for them. Will they be the next homeless – incarcerated generation?
And then what about the younger foster children who are waiting for adoptive homes? Specfically please pray for:
- Gracie who is 8 months old and has Down’s Syndrome
- Alice who is 13 months old who is recovering from being thrown against a van. The “non-accident” trauma broke bones and caused a head injury.
- Mikey and Matti are twins who are three. Mikey has severe medical problems
- Kekoa is seven years old and was abused in his by his homeless mom’s boyfriend.
- Megan is 10, her anger is evident as she grieves the loss of all her siblings and birth parents
- Dadon is 10 and has been in foster care since he was 2.

Japan - Please pray for The Church of Glory under New Hope Tokyo that we will receive a Sunday worship service place in Japan. We are presently using a dance hall for our small church of about 25 members, and often we are asked to leave because other dancers want to use the event hall so our fellowship and prayer time are cut short. Bless you from Japan New Hope!

We continue to receive prayer requests for the military in Iraq. Please join us in praying that God's will be done, both home and abroad. He is sovereign; only he knows his plans for us, and the world. But we know his plans are for hope and a future, not for calamity. May he bring us through the calamities we are now tested with and into the place where we rest securely in his grace.

A couple weeks ago Baby Kaleb’s parents picked him up from home care and noticed something was wrong. She immediately took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome. He now has meningitis in response the surgeries on his brain, his body can't regulate his temperature, his heart rate drops every time he is moved, and he has seizures. He is also blind. His sitter shook him so hard that he is in a coma. He had to have spinal fluid drained from his brain, and doctors think that if he lives he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life. Brain scans show that his brain tissue is dying and his brain is shrinking. The parents refuse this diagnosis and pray for their little boy. He is 6 months old.

God is mighty and can protect and care for all our needs and problems that are going on in our lives. It is pretty overwhelming. May God lead you how to pray.
