A tender blessing and important responsibility shared by the families of Vision Forum Ministries is our calling to stand with brothers and sisters in prayer. One of the most common prayer requests we receive is from families who love children, and who are crying out to the Lord for the blessing of this special “reward.” In my view these prayer requests are very, very precious. We live in a world that hates life and rejects children. The deep hunger of Christian couples for more babies to love and nurture in the fear of the Lord is one of the many marks that we are the Redeemed. Below is one letter I recently received, and I am respectfully asking that today you join us in praying for them and couples like them. May God send an abundance of children.

“I wrote about a year ago, asking for prayer because my husband was going to have a vasectomy reversal. The surgery itself (by surgeons’ expectations) did go well. However it has been a year now and we are still waiting for the blessing of another child. Will you and your staff please lift this up in prayer? The sadness every month sometimes seems overwhelming. We have two daughters and they, too, want us to have a baby so much that they have been in tears when we have realized another month has went by without a baby on the way. Thank you for your ministry. Our family has grown so much and been very encouraged from the many audio cd’s that we have listened to. B.”
