Here is a very fitting excellent 30-min slide show "Road to Freedom: Lithuania" by Darius Udrys (there are English and Lithuanian versions): http://blip.tv/file/1772859. Thanks to one of our adoptive families for sending this to me. I found it very moving as well as informative. There is some difficult history and pictures that may not be appropriate for young children to watch. However, it is a good reminder of what the people of Lithuania have endured to come to a place where they can celebrate their independence.

There are approximately 143 million orphans in the world today.
Many children are older, or a sibling group. Some children have medical, physical or developmental challenges.
We aren't asking you to help 143 million orphans, but you can make a difference by being a Bethany Prayer Warrior.

Prayer Warriors will receive pictures and information of children waiting through Bethany.

We ask that you pray for the children.
Pray for families who are willing to accept the children with special placement needs into their hearts and homes.
Pray for those who will never be adopted. May someone come into their life and love and care for them.
 
Each of us is part of the Body of Christ. It is He in us that is more than able to make a difference.

If you want to be added to the Prayer Warrior group and receive emails about waiting children, please send an email to: jvandyke@bethany.org
