Update – July, 2026

As July 7 approaches, I get more and more excited about returning to the ‘other’ land that I love!   I have a lot ahead of me – a lot I will have to figure out since much has changed in the orphanage system while I have been in Massachusetts.  Pray with me, please, that with God’s guidance, He will lead me to what is best for our precious hopeless/helpless/fatherless ones.  For many, I will just have to locate the case (houses) to where they have been moved.  I can hardly wait to see them!  In the meantime, I get word from them that they are waiting for the day for their Mama Dawn to return to them.

Please pray for D-na Alina, the director of Barza Mica.  I have not heard from her in some time.  I’m concerned!  If I can put it this way, she has ‘on-going cancer’ – through much of her body.  Please pray, too, that she will come to know our Jesus as her own personal Savior!

I don’t know what-all is going on, but I do know that strange/out of the norm things are going on with the monetary system in Romania.  Along with that and a huge Russian drone hitting a bloc in Southeastern Romania, the country is ‘on edge’.

Please pray for our precious friends in Ukraine.  They are struck with drones (some, the size of cars) and bombs daily.  We (Love From Above) have many Christian friends including Messianic Christians in UA.  Please pray for the Lord to shield them – for them to be able to find food – and for them to ‘cling’ to their God, Almighty.   (Deuteronomy 13.4 NASB–  “You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him, and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.”)

Please pray for wisdom, wisdom, and more wisdom for me – in all the upcoming decisions I will have to make.  Please pray that I will reflect the love of our Jesus in all that I do.

Please pray for sufficient funds for Love From Above.  The ministry is at an all-time low.  I have every confidence that our Divine CFO will supply our (HIS) needs.  The Scripture does tell us to let our needs be known.  (Philippians 4.6)  It tells us to let them be known to God.  However, I’m letting you know, also, so that you can pray this Scripture along with me.
