Well, as we have learned over the past year…things rarely stay the same in the Litzke home for too long. Seems about the time we get comfortable God says…I’ve got another journey for ya, will you keep trusting me and just follow? We enter gladly because we know where He leads…He always blesses and we grow more in Him. Just a few months ago we were contacted about a beautiful boy in Guatemayla that desperately needed a family. Jairo was 19 months at the time and had been waiting for a family for a long time. He is another very special child. He has cerebral palsy which affects his ability to walk. We were first asked if we would be willing to help bring him to the States and foster him on a medical visa to help ensure care and therapy needed to improve his quality of life. The services needed are just not available to him there in Guatemayla. We prayed and said yes and were so thankful for this opporutunity. As the weeks went on through many various cirumstances and God’s direct leading, it became very clear to us that we were not to simply bring him here on a medical visa, but he was meant to be ours. We were to adopt this beautiful boy.
Jairo, soon to be Devon Keaton Litzke, is a fighter, and is making excellent progress! We know God has His hand on him and has extraordinary plans for him. We have no doubt he will be another awesome blessing to our family. We feel we are some of the most fortunate people in the world. We tell folks, “no, we don’t have to do this…we GET TO DO THIS.”
We are excited about the doors God has opened up for us to offer these children-in-need a family to love and the opportunity to learn about Jesus. Once again we have stepped out in faith to answer His call knowing He will provide all our needs. He ALWAYS DOES!

After much prayer and seeking His direction we felt led and it necessary to give others a chance to be apart of the blessing this time around. We believe God has more miracles just around the bend and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
Recently we learned of Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries, http://www.kingdomkidsadoption.org/ an organization that helps families raise funds for adoptions. Through this organization people can make tax-deductible donations toward adoption expenses! Any gift received will not only allow us to reach out to these precious children, HIS children, but enables those that contribute to be apart of the blessing of making a difference in another child’s life…an eternal difference.
What a priviledge it is to serve our Father in caring for His children. It is only through His strength that we accomplish what He asks of us.

We are excited about what God is going to do in our lives through these children. The process is long and not without obstacles but we are ready for the challenge...fully equiped by the Father.

Faithfully and Forever His~
