Hayden and Marci’s Adoption Journey

Hayden Sewall
Hayden Sewall Abilene, Kansas

We were married in January of 2021 after a combined forty years of life in Asia (more than twenty years for each). We have enjoyed the children that God has brought into our lives over the years, and look forward to raising a child or children as we continue to live abroad. We have been approved to adopt from the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan. Though neither of us have yet to visit the country, it has much in common with the rich Asian culture we love so much, and allows us to be a part of a cultural heritage that includes many tribes and ethnicities. We are very excited about this journey that is coming and look forward to seeing the many ways that God changes lives in our family and the communities to which we are a part. Would you pray for God to be at the center of these new changes in our family, for his glory and fame throughout the nations? And thanks to some generous advocates, any donation given to us this year will be MATCHED, up to 5,000!
