Jimmy (China)

Boy, Born March 30, 2007
China  
From a missionary who visited with him in May 2010:  " Jimmy is a delightful three year old with Down Syndrome.  He is decribed as being quiet and playful.  Jimmy doesn’t walk by himself yet, but he can get anywhere he needs by holding onto furniture and walls.  He only says a few words, but understands so much more. Jimmy has a close relationship with his foster father.  When foster dad hugs him and raises him up, he laughs happily.  Jimmy also loves the outdoors.  When foster mom takes him to pick up his older foster brother from school, he raises his head in his stroller, looks at the sky, and laughs heartily.  He is curious about everything. " 
Update in July 2011:  Jimmy, now four years old, has been on the shared list for a long time … At the time his file was submitted, he didn’t even walk yet! Now he runs. When the file was prepared, he didn’t speak at all. He’s still a man of few words, but he does call those in his foster family by name …  If his family doesn’t find him soon, they may move him out of his foster home to make room for another child who they feel may have a better chance at a family."

Sweet Jimmy is in a foster home in China, but here's the catch - if he doesn't find his family soon, he will get sent back to the orphanage, because he is getting too old to find a family easily. Not only that, but we must be fishing because there is an even bigger catch!! If he is sent back the orphanage, they won't renew his his paper work. that means he will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE!!! He will be given up on at the age of 4. FOUR! (We're done fishing, but we aren't golfing!) Four years old is too little to be give up on! Friends, his situation is URGENT! If we don't find him a family NOW, he will have no hope. He will never be able to feel the love of FAMILY! Don't let him become LOST forever!

Now is the time to act! PRAY! SPREAD THE WORD!! COMMIT!!! 3 simple steps!

  1. Pray
  2. Spread the Word
  3. Commit
Are you ready? Are you set? GO!!!
