Patricia kept praying and yelling until Mark and I listened and stepped out in faith. And then Patricia kept praying for us and still does. She is Andrew's biggest advocate. The Lord burdened her heart for this young boy and her prayers were answered. Not right away. It was at the last minute before he turned 16.
If you are an advocate for a child, don't give up! Look where Andrew is now! He's home!
Patricia and some of her wonderful friends sent Andrew a box full of football T-shirts, hats, blankets, gloves, a scarf, all kinds of treasures! When the box was open the first thing he said was, "WOW!" It was like Christmas for him!
Thank you, Patricia, for your unfailing love, support and prayers for Andrew and orphans all over the world. You are a blessing!
Blessings,
Hansina
I love that you posted this little 'where it began' part of the story! Isn't it amazing what can happen when God plants a dream & a vision in a faithful heart!?!
