- Please continue to keep 3-year-old Nan* held close in prayer as she heals emotionally and physically. Nan was sexually abused by her father, a violent drunk.
Give thanks to God for answered prayers—Nan’s mother has given permission for Nan to move to a Christian children’s home where she will be safe and away from her father’s abuse. - Also thank God that Nan seems to be doing better and is much happier now. Her caregivers say she sings songs all the time and is learning about God’s love and compassion.
- Continue to pray for God’s justice for Nan and for her father’s healing and transformation.
Please keep Faa in prayer as she reaches out to and works with ethnic hill tribe children in a bar area of a major Thai city. Pray that God will provide her with the resources and energy she needs to care for the vulnerable children who come to the drop-in center. Please pray for the safety of Faa, the other caregivers, and the children at this center. Men in the bar area routinely confront or solicit the children and caregivers.

- Pray for children in the U.S. and in other countries around the world who are suffering because of difficult economic situations.
- Give thanks to God that baby Grace’s* custody hearing went well and that her foster family is getting closer to being able to adopt her. Please pray that the birth grandmother, foster parents, and child protective and legal personnel will recognize what is best for this 8-month-old baby girl and act with that in mind.
- Please pray that a safe, permanent home will be found so that three siblings, 10-year-old J., 8-year-old N., and 4-year-old A., may stay together. Pray for their mother who is unable to care for them and for their father who is incarcerated. (Orphans First – http://www.orphansfirst.org/)
