Pastor David Platt of McLean Bible Church in Washington D.C. and former president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s International Mission Board, posted on Twitter asking people to pray for their not-yet-adopted son J.D. who just celebrated his 4th birthday.
Platt said they haven’t been able to meet or adopt their son J.D. yet because the country he is in closed just five days before they were scheduled to travel.
He said he has been “pleading every single day for a way to go to him.” Platt shared Luke 18:1, “Jesus told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.”
