Meet the newest Lichty

Throughout this last two weeks, Sheri and I have been continually reminded about God’s grace and abounding mercy. Long travel, strange hours and uncertainty have all crept into our lives, but God continually delivers without fail. Last week when we were concerned, he provided relief. Today when we are eager and certain of his providence, he delivers again.

We are eager and proud to announce that our son is officially our son today according to the Primary Court in Rwanda. We have spent some hours with him visiting over this weekend and today, but starting on Tuesday morning we will get to take him away from the orphanage during the day. We have some more hurdles to overcome this week, but with God’s help all things are possible. We are excited to give him a bath, dress him in clothes we packed and even to change his diapers, all things that we were able to do with our other children as well.

Sheri and I are very thankful for you prayers, and we ask for them to continue. We need God’s intervention to help all the processes for the group to move forward appropriately. I also need God to intervene so that I will not continue to eat samosa’s (a wonderful eggroll type snack that you can find in bakeries and snack bars). Please continue to pray that the children will be healthy, our families will be well at home and that we will have God’s protection as we travel.

And now, without further ado, here is a fresh picture of our son Isaac Aaron. We look forward to talking with folks more about him once we get home. We also will post more photos as we have more time and ability.

God Bless,

Jeff
