Welcome to the Bates family blog! Gil and Kelly have been married since 1987 and have nineteen children. Twelve of their children have been married. They have thirty-two grandchildren with one on the way due June 2025. They have four children and eight grandchildren in heaven.
We have two new photos of Ryker to share with you all. We ask that you all will pray for Romeike family as they try to extend their stay in US. We hope that you will go watch Trace and Lydia's newest youtube video.
We watched this morning and they are in our prayers. I feel for Lydia and her family but for Trace and you all as Ryker made his presence. Our God is mightier than the government and prayers for God to intevene so Lydia can get the rest as a new mother and a peaceful mind.
He is adorable 🥰 I watched Traces video last night. That is so not right trying to deport this wonderful Christian family. I am praying for the situation
I'm praying for all parties involved. It's disheartening that over a million people have crossed our border illegally but this family is endanger of being sent home. I agree with the comment above though that our God is greater than any government. May we all petition our Heavenly Father on behalf of this family.
I was homeschooling my children all those years ago when this wonderful family was trying to do the same in Germany. Prayed for them then and was so happy they came here. I am praying again, that they will be able to stay. God bless them. Much love. 🙏❤️
