He's alive!!!!

They found Josh Childers yesterday around 5 in the afternoon. A searcher strayed from his team and got lost. He found him with two dogs at his side. It is so obvious that God was watching over that precious baby the whole 52 hours that he was gone. It just gives me goose bumps and tears of joy, to see once again, how faithful our God is......

Missing in Madison County

This morning I received a call from the Search and Rescue team that I am on. There was a little 3 year old boy, Josh, from Madison County that disappeared from his home. I arrived around 7 a.m. and got a briefing around 10. When they showed us the picture of the precious little boy, I about burst into tears. At that point Josh had been missing for about 18 hrs. which is a long time for such a little boy to fend for himself in the woods, but everyone was still very optimistic. They had searched all day yesterday and only found a shoe, no other clues. Today several hundred people armed with search dogs, ATVs, horses, helicopters with infra-red heat seeking devices, coast guard using sonar, local volunteers, FBI and trained searchers all converged on the area with one goal, to find Josh. Everyone searched all day. Calling out his name every couple of minutes for hours on end. Walking mile after mile, to no avail. By the time I left at 6 this evening, nothing new had turned up, no clues, nothing! I left for home with a feeling of complete hopelessness.....
