RYAN for the Faulkner family — OH

Chris and Julie have three dearly loved daughters.   Now they have a precious son (in their hearts) who they want to bring home; Ryan!  They love watching God work in amazing ways and can’t wait to see all that He has in store for Ryan.   

 

Why Ryan?  He requires urgent medical care, has many special needs, aged out of his first orphanage which lead to being “transferred”…and he has completely captivated their hearts!  Chris and Julie believe every life- planned or unplanned, typical or with special needs- is created by God, deserves love, has eternal value, and can point others to Christ’s love.  Not only do Chris and Julie want to see what Ryan’s role is in history His story- God’s story- they want to be part of it…and so can YOU!

 

While this may feel like the beginning of Ryan’s story, it is not.  God has already been moving mountains all over the world for this little guy.  God has raised up people to pray for Ryan and He is listening to and answering those prayers.  He has strengthened a host of Christians to take action and has blessed those steps taken in faith!  You can read the miraculous things God has done in their blog.

 

Throughout their life, through many circumstances, God has been preparing Chris and Julie’s hearts and lives to adopt again.  Ryan was discovered by the Faulkner’s when Julie’s best friend from junior high school posted a link to Reece’s Rainbow.   The dots were connected and hearts were stirred to action- with Ryan being the target of the Faulkner’s affection, prayers, and action.  Lord willing, Ryan will soon have these titles of love and belonging: son, brother, grandson, nephew!    This couple, celebrating eight years of marriage and three daughters, needs to raise the financial support to bring Ryan into the care and love of their family.  They are confident of these two things:  1) What God begins, He will continue.  2) What God promises, He will provide.  God has used people from many countries to impact Ryan’s role in His story, and he will move other people like you, who care about the orphan child, to help continue it.  May God be glorified as Ryan’s role in His story unfolds into the Faulkner family.  Thank you for praying for Ryan and for moving to action to get him home!
