Part of our bedtime routine with Josiah is prayer at the end. We always ask him, "Who do you want to pray for tonight?" Almost every single night, he answers, "Mr. Steve and Mrs. Daria and Ethan" (our friends from our small group in Birmingham who are now serving in South Africa). We love praying for them, but we wanted a visible way for him to explore his options.
So here is our prayer board. It has several friends who are serving abroad and all four of our sponsored children. He loves pointing to the people he wants to pray for that night. We are so blessed that Josiah remembers most of these people. What a gift to get to expose him to what God is doing in the world.
On a side note, Josiah still asks Jonathan, "What else was it like in Haiti?" Jonathan's pretty much run out of things to tell him, but we are grateful that he gets to hear that there are people who don't live in houses or have running water.
