ABOUT MINA:

Mina is a precious little girl recently rescued from an orphanage in Eastern Europe who is now finally home with her forever family! She had been without a mother or father to love her & care for her each day. No one to rock her, kiss her gently or tell her she's loved. She is blessed with an extra chromosome known as Down syndrome, which for her that meant a life of being viewed as worthless in the country she was born into & a life without hope. Because of this her parents gave her up at the age of 6 months when they found out the diagnosis & from there her life progressivly went down hill. We are the Gower family residing in OKC who recently adopted this little angel. She was extremely malnourished and unable to do just about anything when we first met her. She will be 2 in January & is the size of a 3-6 month old weighing 14lbs. She continues to amaze us at how quickly she is progressing with love and nutrition. She has learned to sit up, roll over, feed herself finger foods, hold her own bottle and loves to interact with toys and other children. Her life has changed so much in such a short period of time and will forever be changed! Thank you Lord for putting a burden on our hearts to rescue this little blessing and making her apart of our family!

Prayer Requests!

Thank you so much for all those prayer warriors out there that prayed for our precious little angel, Mina before we made it to her and for those who continue to pray for her now.  We are so extremely grateful.  We had an extremely smooth quick adoption process and are so grateful to the Lord for that and want to thank all of you for your coveted prayers!

These are a few of the many answered prayers we are so grateful for:
  • For Mina's health- awaiting test results
  • For God to embrace her with His love and hold her till we get to her
  • For safe travel
  • For the paperwork process to go quickly
  • For God to provide financially
  • That God would prepare Mina's heart to meet her forever family and prepare ours for the journey ahead

Please join us in prayer....
  • For all the many orphans in this world that need a loving family
  • For their safety, health, a family, and most of all God's love to embrace and surround them when they feel so alone
  • For the people of God to stand up against injustice and do something to change the lives of these children
  • For God to put a burden on His peoples heart that they can not shake and that they can not rest until they do something about it
