For the next four days, join us in praying for national Russian and Ukrainian adoptive and foster families. Providing national families for Russian and Ukrainian orphans is a long process with four key steps—motivation, training, vetting and support. The first step is motivation. In Russia and Ukraine there is a lot of stigma against orphans and many people are afraid to bring them into their homes. Please pray as UWO and ILDC work with key national leaders (a) to try to change the national mentality towards orphans in Russia and Ukraine and (b) to motivate Christian believers to consider adoption. Pray for the UWO as, during the next year, they will host a number of promotional activities to engage and motive as many churches and individuals towards adoption and foster care as possible.
