Emergency!

I am interrupting my blogging for Frank, to share three boys who need families NOW! Two of them age out in 15 and 16 days. The other in 2 months.
Let me introduce you to Sebastian, Joseph, and Casey.
Other bloggers have shared about these boys, in hopes to rescue them!
Please share!

Sebastian

Boy, born April 26 1997

Speech issues

Sebastian will turn 16 THIS MONTH (April 2013).  A family must have paperwork filed for him with USCIS PRIOR to his birthday — so, it must be filed on 4/25/2013.

We’ve been told Sebastian is available for adoption, but his paperwork will not be cleared in country until fall 2013.  However, the process *MUST* be started with USCIS (US Immigration) prior to his 16th birthday, for an American family to adopt him.

Sebastian so badly longs for a family and to belong.  He is shy, and has a very calm demeanor, slow to think and respond and soft spoken. He is not the ”in your face” kind of young man. He has ran away from the school on several occasions because he is sad living at the school and just does not fit in. With him being shy he is often picked on and accused of things he does not do and becomes a target because he does not fight back. Anything he was asked to do or help with the mission team he did not hesitate to help. When activities came up and he was asked to participate he had no problem engaging and playing. He has a slight stutter that comes out at times but nothing that will enable him or his future to achieve any goals. He is a precious young man. He says at times he has a hard time remembering things . He stated that he believes in God.

He loves to read the encyclopedia and to learn. He loves animals and like to look them up and read about them. He loves all animals and would love to be in a family with any kind of animal. He loves mashed potatoes and chicken and he does not care much for fish soup! He enjoys sports like Futbul (soccer), basketball, running and swimming. He enjoys drawing cars.

Although Sebastian is shy he can be funny and talkative at times. If he had a choice to be in a calm and quiet place, alone or with friends he would rather be with friends and not alone. He would prefer to be one to follow a good leader verse being the one to lead others. If he had some free time he would love to wind down by reading a book. He wants to build houses and that is the one trade he would love to learn. If he had three wishes he said to come to have a family in America, live in America and live near his other friend named Sasha or be able to talk to him. If he could be like anyone in the world he said he likes himself the way God made him. If he could visit anywhere in the world it would be America. He said he has visited a camp in Greece and he liked it there. When he went he thought he was going to be adopted and it did not happen it was just a camp so he was heart broken. He would love to visit an athletic gym in America and look at houses (architecture). He loves to look at church buildings and study how they are built and what they look like and enjoyed seeing them in Greece. He said he does not smoke or drink like many in his school and his favorite color is yellow. His favorite school subjects are Math, drawing and PE and his least favorite is Chemistry. He states he is an average student. When asked if he could visit a family in America would he like to be the oldest or youngest he said he did not care he just wanted to be part of a family. This young man is running out of time and it was so clear he just wants a family. He wrote a letter to a member of the team, asking for her help to find a family and thanking her for being willing to find him one.

Joseph

Boy, born April 25, 1997

Abnormal development of cardiac system, recurrent infection of ENT organs and respiratory tract, humpback

Joseph WANTS to be adopted and we want to give him a chance in case there is a family that is paper ready or able to file petition for his adoption with USCIS before he turns 16 to adopt him.

He has no younger siblings.

Casey

Born June 1997

Cerebral palsy, significant mental delays, seborrheic dermatitis

Casey is very sweet.   He is bedridden, yet full of smiles.  He desperately needs a family to save him.

Travel required;  married couples only.  Large families welcome.

$1745.30 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

Donations are tax deductible.

Mulligan Stew 2013

You Matter Frank!

They are always hungry.

Most of the babes in the institute get just enough but never really enough.

Their little tummies are always longing for more food.

They don't get a choice what they are going to eat and frankly - they don't care.  They just want food.

Even if it is soup and bread every single day of their lives.

They shovel the food in as fast as they can for fear that it will be taken away before they can finish.

We can't cross the ocean and set up a stew pot to fill their stomachs for real.

Even if we could, they would just be hungry again the next day.

What we can do is much greater.

We can throw our dimes and nickels into their buckets and fill up their grant accounts to make it easy for a family to cross that ocean and adopt them so they will never be hungry again.

Frank.

He is starving for so much more than food in his belly.

He is starving for attention.  He is starving for someone to care.  He is starving for someone to chase after him when he runs. 

He is looking for a Father who can HOLD HIS HAND and teach him how to grow up to be a man.

He's looking for a Mother who will comfort him when he scrapes his knee. 

Oh Frank.

You matter so much.

You matter so very very much.

Please help me raise Frank's grant account.  Right now we have raised only $76.00 for Frank. 

Please help me get his face out. 

The ONLY diagnosis Frank has is moderate mental delay.  He MAY have FAS but that is just MY cautionary.  He DESPERATELY needs a family.  He is wasting away at a Level Four Mental Institute where he most definitely DOES NOT belong!

Depraved Indifference

You see, there is a cast system in heaven. But it's exactly backward from the cast system this world naturally creates. This world applauds and esteems the wealthy and the powerful and the privileged and the talented.

THAT'S NOT HOW GOD'S SYSTEM WORKS.

Jesus came and he proved it. He took the lowest spot, and HE WAS GOD.

The bigger you get in the kingdom of heaven the lower position you will take.

The special ones in God's kingdom are the weak ones. The ones that can't fight for themselves, the ones who can't speak for themselves, the ones that don't have someone to feed them, the ones that don't have someone to protect them. And Jesus says, 'Those are the prized ones. You treat them as royalty here on earth. And the way you treat them is ultimately the way you're treating me.' What you do unto the least of these is how you're treating your God. Christianity is taking what has been purchased by the cross, the behavior of heaven, the nature of Jesus Christ and transplanting it into the heart of men and women down here on earth, so that they behave not like this world, but of heaven! So when this world sees them, they're different! There is something odd about them, they are from another realm. What does it look like? It's Noble, it's brave, it's courageous, and it's selfless. It is willing to spend itself for the weak.

I was doing some studying on Liberia. If you want to be disturbed, start studying Liberia. This four year old boy, who's sitting on the side of the road. No one to comfort, no one to take him in. No shelter, no food. Nothing. So in the middle of that night, I wake up. And it's like God had already deposited a question, it was waiting to meet me when I popped awake in the middle of the night, 2 in the morning. I had this picture of this little boy in Liberia in front of me. And God asked me a question: What if that was Hudson? My four year old. What if that was Hudson?

You don't mess with a father's heart. What if that was Hudson? If my boy was on the side of a road, across the world from me, suffering, totally alone, not knowing what's happening- he's not old enough to comprehend this! He's abandoned. He has no one to fight for his cause. No one to give him a voice. He doesn't even know how to articulate his circumstances. He's hungry and no one's feeding him. He's starving to death. If my son is in that situation, put a concrete wall in front of me, I'll claw through it with my bare hands. This is my son we're talking about, and if I couldn't get there, then I'd call up every friend I have, and I would say "I have a son, over in Liberia. You call yourself my friend, I need you to get on a plane, and I need you to get to him. I'll give you the coordinates, I'll do whatever it takes, I need you to get to him, and be a father to him."

God's response: That's MY Hudson.

That's My Hudson.

He's looking to us, and he's saying, "I'm calling up everyone I know. Everyone on my list, that calls himself by my name that says they're a friend of God. And I'm saying, my son is over there in Liberia. Are you willing? To get on the plane and get to him?"

We have our cause, but we don't want to see it. And it's when we finally acknowledge the fact that something is wrong with us, not with the world out there. If we start with this little group here, and say, "God, you need to fix this."

 I suffer from Depraved Indifference. So do you.

Oh, we care, it's not that that doesn't move us at some level, to hear about this little child, over in Liberia, we care! But we can go home tonight and sleep just fine. How is that?

It's because there is an indifference to that life. And it's naturally born within us.

That life isn't affecting us.

It's not in our backyard, we're not related to it.

It's someone else's issue.

In fact, we start quoting scripture about God being the father to the fatherless, we're like "Thank you God, you're a father to that child."

He says, "Remember, you call yourself my body. I'm not there, except through you. Your hands, those are my hands. Your feet, those are my feet. That heart? That's my heart, if it's not beating, my heart's not beating on this earth anymore.

I work through my body. I'm a father to the fatherless through my body; I rescue the weak and the vulnerable, through you. And if you're not doing it, no one is!"

There is a solution for our disease, which is known as sin. It's Jesus Christ. There's a solution for these dying children, it's Jesus Christ. Might sound overly simplistic, but that's it.

That IS the solution, because Jesus Christ will change a man, into a man that feels what Jesus Christ is feeling. And he cannot stay in Suburbia, USA any longer and do nothing.

Heroes are made because they are moved.

Not in their head, but in their heart. You have to be moved at such a level that you would shed blood.

Jesus Christ was moved.

For God So Loved The World That He Gave.

And that son that was given suffered and died, for what? For the cause that is being laid before us tonight.

It wasn't head knowledge, about the disaster that was taking place in this world.

It was life abandonment unto the cause of those that are dying, unto the eternal souls that are around us.

Do we care at the level God Cares? Do we carry a burden? When we go home tonight, will we grieve over the fact that those children are God's children?

And he is longing for an advocate to stand up and say "I'M WILLING GOD, to fight for what is yours. I'm willing, God, burden me."

When Jesus was in Gethsemane, you know what he was there for? He was there for life. He was burdened with the weight of it all, for life.

He was willing to sweat great droplets of blood.

Are we? For our King and his glory.

We will rescue these little ones.

Before The Morning

"Do you wonder why you have to

Feel the things that hurt you?

If there's a God who loves you

Where is He now?

Or maybe there are things you can't see

And all those things are happening

To bring a better ending

Someday, somehow you'll see, you'll see

Would you dare, would you dare to believe

That you still have a reason to sing?

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It can't compare to the joy that's coming

So hold on, you gotta wait for the light

Press on and just fight the good fight

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends

And you know where you're going

You just don't know how you'll get there

So say a prayer

And hold on

'Cause there's good for those who love God

But life is not a snapshot

It might take a little time, but you'll see the bigger picture

Would you dare, would you dare to believe

That you still have a reason to sing?

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It can't compare to the joy that's coming

So hold on, you gotta wait for the light

Press on and just fight the good fight

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It's just the dark before the morning

Yeah, yeah, before the morning

Yeah, yeah

Once you feel the weight of glory

All your pain will fade to memory

Once you feel the weight of glory

All your pain will fade to memory, memory, memory, yeah

Would you dare, would you dare to believe

That you still got a reason to sing?

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It can't compare to the joy that's coming

Would you dare, would you dare to believe

That you still got a reason to sing?

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It can't compare to the joy that's coming

Come on, you gotta wait for the light

Press on and just fight the good fight

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It's just the hurt before the healing

Oh, the pain that you've been feeling

It's just the dark before the morning

Yeah, yeah, before the morning

Yeah, yeah, before the morning"
