This week, meet Fritz! Ten years old and sweet as can be, this is one great kid! I’m not exactly sure why, but I have always felt that his name was very fitting (though I’ve never met anyone else with that name before). I think I’ve narrowed it down to two reasons: First of all, his hair. It just kinda sticks up in the air, something like one of those Chia Pets from the 90s… Secondly, just like his name, Fritz is unique!
Fritz is most characterized by his very gentle and tenderhearted personality. He is extremely polite and softspoken, and always willing to lend a helping hand! He is probably one of our most well-rounded kids as well…. He loves to be with the boys playing basketball and soccer; but he also loves to play piano, draw, sing, and tap into his more creative, artsy side. He has been taking piano lessons the past month and is one of the best students!
Fritz is one of five kids; two of which live with him at the children’s home. He has an older sister named Roseanne (13) and a younger brother named Florence (7), who just happens to look like a mini version of Fritz. Roseanne, Fritz, and Florence are actually three of our four kids who will be traveling to the States in about a month to take part in a camp in California. Through the International Christian Adoption organization, these three siblings will live with a family for a month, experiencing what life in America is like. As the organization’s title suggests, there is a possibility of adoption as well.
Please pray for Fritz this week. Pray for him (and his siblings) as they prepare to head off to a culture so completely different than anything they have ever seen for the month of November. Pray for the possibility of adoption, and pray that God would protect his heart, his hopes, and his dreams throughout the whole process. Fritz also asked that we pray for the rest of his family, who are living in another area of the Philippines. Thank you for your prayers!
