China Waiting Children Program – Are one of these children waiting for you?

We would like to ask families to join America World in praying for the following children in our China Waiting Children program, who are currently looking for their forever family.  We trust that God will move on their behalf and we are eager to see all He will accomplish through our united prayers!  Thank you for joining us in committing these children to prayer.
