Thank you for praying for Carrie and Faisal’s daughter Carrie Lilly. She is safe but is currently on a plane headed to Pakistan. Here is Faisal’s update.
Dear Family in Christ,
From the depths of my heart, thank you. Carrie and I are overwhelmed with gratitude. You stormed the throne of God with your prayers, and we have felt every one of them.
In those dark and fearful moments, we truly feared the worst—that our daughter may have been taken and that we might never see her again. The silence and uncertainty were unbearable. As you know, the last time she contacted her biological mother, she sounded panicked and afraid.
But now—Carrie Lily John has contacted again and said, “I am on the plane to Pakistan. I asked someone in my classroom to purchase me the ticket.”
I will be honest—this situation has made us feel like fools, and it has been deeply painful and humbling. But even in this, I choose to forgive. She is still our daughter, and I am committed to showing her the right path—the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the truth that restores.
What a mercy of God. What an answer to prayer. Though our minds were tormented with fear, the Lord has preserved her.
Please continue to stand with us in prayer—for wisdom, discernment, and patience—that I may bring her back safely to the United States and guide her forward in the will of God.
Thank you for carrying us through this storm.
Under His sovereign care,
Faisal and Carrie
