New Hope

Dear Family & Friends,
Our family wanted to send out a quick update and thank you email to all of you who have been on this journey of prayer and fasting for Baby-M these last several weeks. Today is May 9th. Today is the day that has been set aside on the Ethiopian calendar to indicate that from this point forward, families whose cases are submitted to court will need to travel twice. As I sit here and type this email, we don't have any additional or new information than we had several weeks ago when I sent out the first email concerning Baby-M's case other than that he still needs his approval letter signed.
Baby-M's form is still waiting to be signed and our case is still waiting to be submitted to the court. Although we have had many opportunities to be downcast and discouraged (some that we have taken), God has given us new hope.
Even though it seems that the situation has not changed, we trust and believe that we serve a Great God who is more than capable of moving the mountains that are keeping Baby-M in Ethiopia.
I would have loved to send out an email today proclaiming Baby-M's release or even news of a court date. Although we don't yet have that news, the news we do have is so much greater! God is God. God is in control. God is Good. God loves Baby-M...sees Baby-M... and WILL BRING BABY-M HOME!
God is at work...even though we we can't visible see the evidence of his movement in the situation with Baby-M.
I have been reading in Exodus this last week and have been so ministered to by the story of Moses. The Israelites were in desperate need of deliverance and God heard them and sent a deliverer to rescue them. We pray that He will do the same for Baby-M.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Thank you for praying for our son. We ask that you would continue to pray for him as God brings him to your mind and heart. We will continue to send out prayer updates and any new information that we receive.

We often think and talk about how amazing it will be to tell Baby-M the story of his homecoming and these events are serving to make the story even more miraculous. How we long for the day to tell Baby-M about you and your prayers and love for him too. Thank you again for serving our family through prayer!

May God get great Glory through Baby-M's story and life,
Jack, Sarah & Aaron Keller
