“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11

God we pray today for the many people involved in planning Mia’s visit while here in the States. We pray that you will open all of the right doors to make her speaking engagements and fundraising work go smoothly and be a blessing.

In particular, we ask that you give Joan Castle, the US head of Mia’s Children, encouragement as she hosts Mia and oversees the month-long trip.

Amen.

Lord, we thank you for bringing Mia safely to the United States and for the gift of friendship and community that we share with her and with our Romanian brothers and sisters. Teach us how to love and welcome visitors. May her trip be restful and inspire her work and ours. Amen.

Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.

1 Thessalonians 2:8

This week we lift up to you Mia as she prepares for a much-awaited trip to the US. Please give her and Mia’s Children in Romania peace as they set up arrangements for her absence. Protect her health, and make those of us in America welcoming to her in whatever way you have for us. Amen


Update on Mia’s Visa Application

Mia is expecting her visa for the US in the next couple of days! She plans to travel as soon as possible, so she’ll be able to return in time for the beginning of the school year.

Please pray for travel arrangements to go smoothly and for Mia’s time here to be productive. Also, please pray for the staff at Mia’s Children as they prepare for her departure.

If you would like to see Mia while she’s here, please let us know so that we can be in contact with you!


Painting and Prayer

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9

Please give Mia the energy and endurance not to give up on the many tasks in front of her, especially as she works on securing a visa to the US. Open the doors for her to come and make her way easy. Let her not become weary in doing good. Amen.
