Stephen

So, I was just talking to a very dear friend, and she was sharing with me some new and exciting things in her life, and I was sharing some of mine. As I shared this one, I was overcome with emotion, as was she. Let me just get this out there. I sponsor a child in Zambia, which is where I am going this summer. His name is Stephen, and he lives in the village of Chongwe, Zambia. Chongwe is not one of the places we are scheduled to go to on our trip this summer. I want to go to Chongwe! The other day, I talked to the sponsor co-ordinator, and wanted to know if there was ANY way that I could meet my child. She called me almost immediately from Texas after I sent an email to her. She was pumped for this to happen! However, I need some prayer for things to work out. I know God is faithful and that He wants me to be in Zambia this summer. And, with a little prayer, and possibly a few extra donations (I'll keep you posted on this), I can meet my child. I need prayer that this will work out. I need prayer for my heart. I already know that my heart is going to be changed this summer just from my trip. But imagine meeting the child that I sponsor???!!!! I can't even imagine it. Also, I need prayer just in case this does not work out, that God will give me peace about that. However, I know He will provide, just as He already has provided so much! Please, PLEASE pray for me and with me that this will work out. Thanks! :)
