Urgent Prayer Needed for Virginia Mom     10/1/2008
By Leslie Smith

Update on the Lisa Miller Case:

Please act now to pray and support Lisa Miller as she fights to keep her daughter, Isabella. Embroiled in a custody battle with her former lesbian partner, Lisa is now a Christian who wants to raise her own biological child but has been told by the Vermont courts that they may strip her of those rights. Pray for Lisa as she and her legal counsel attend a hearing that will take place on October 27, 2008, in Vermont. At that hearing, a judge will decide whether or not Lisa will be punished for supposedly disobeying the court-ordered visitation to a woman who is not biologically related to her child.

Lisa's attorney, Rena Lindevaldsen, has written a letter to update everyone on Lisa's current situation. Rena gives her own account of Lisa's story and explains what will happen in the coming months. To read Rena' letter, in its entirety, please go to http://www.cwfa.org/images/content/millerrenaletter.pdf.

Concerned Women for America's (CWA) Field Development Coordinator, Nina Bell, invited Lisa to share on the CWA weekly prayer conference call earlier this week. Nina states, "Participants from all around the country have been specifically praying for Lisa the last few months, so it was a blessing to actually have her on the line with us. What I did not expect was the peace that was heard in her voice as she recounted the horrendous details of her five-year battle to keep her rights as a mother to seven-year-old Isabella."

"After hearing from her, we were all very aware of the fact that Lisa's faith and confidence are truly miraculous. There was not a bitter or questioning tone in her voice, nor did she display any animosity towards her former partner. Her greatest desire is to glorify God, and it was very obvious that her trust is in God."

"We ended the call with prayer for Lisa and a renewed commitment to continue to pray the next couple of months especially."
