Our Judah is gone

Many of you who have facebook already know that Judah ran away, but for those of you who don't know, I wanted to write on my blog so that you could be praying. Judah left for school 15 days ago and never came home. Clinton has scoured the city only to come home with no clues as to his where abouts. One missionary family spotted him at a local mall but he ran as soon as they called his name. This is the third time that Judah has run away and we are more shocked this time than we were the first. We found Judah on the streets 14 months ago, begging money. He was very malnurished and filthy. We brough him home and began a search for some family. With a social worker in tow, we went to the city of his birth. It was confirmed that his mother and father died of a heroin overdose and that his grandmother has also passed away. His little sister was sold by his older brother, who is now in prison. So Judah was on his own in this world. We brought him into our family without even a thought. About six months ago Judah gave his heart to Jesus and we were certain that he wouldn't run away again...... but he did. Please pray with us that we could find him and that we would be able to minister to the deep issues that are in his heart. Love, amber
