Prayer Requests for Joshua

We handed out prayer cards for Joshua at his adoption ceremony. We would be so grateful if you would also join us in praying for him!


Joshua Shen Cryer
Adopted: July 21, 2008


Please pray he would know that…
~God fearfully and wonderfully made him.
~God loves him.
~God has and will take care of him.
~God has a plan for him.
~God will never leave him.
~God is faithful.
~God delights in him.
~God’s word is true.
~God is with him.


~He would one day understand and receive his eternal adoption as God’s son.
~From then on he would seek God’s heart.
~He would know that he is loved.
~He would feel normal and know he belongs.
~He would have a healthy self-esteem and identity in Christ.
~He would embrace his story and allow it to be used for God’s glory.
~He would receive healing from any brokenness caused by his abandonment.
~He would bond and attach to us, his family and would be secure about his place in our hearts.
~ God would give us wisdom as we raise Joshua.
