Prayer Requests for November 30, 2009

Brazil (ESTHERS Children – www.estherschildren.org)

  • Please keep in prayer the 17 girls (ages 4 to 15) currently in the ESTHERS Children substitute family home. Many of the girls have been sick with influenza. Pray for their return to good health.
  • Pray for 12-year-old Vivian who has been hospitalized with pneumonia and other serious health complications. Please pray for her complete recovery. Pray for good care and proper medications—the public hospitals leave much to be desired in terms of quality medical care. Pray that she will be able to come home soon.
  • Pray for the ESTHERS House substitute parents, Nivaldo and Kathryna, as they take turns staying with Vivian. The hospital requires that someone be with Vivian around the clock. Please keep Nivaldo and Kathryna’s 18-month-old son Isaac held close in prayer while he is in the hospital, too.
  • Pray that God will continue to give Nivaldo and Kathryna the strength and energy they need to care for Vivian and Isaac and the 16 other girls at ESTHERS House.
  • Pray that God will provide the material resources needed to care for these girls properly, especially with all of the unexpected medical costs.

Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia

  • Please continue to pray for children and families in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia who have been affected by flooding following a period of severe drought. Pray for the 338,000 mostly Somali refugees in two camps in northern Kenya as they cope with the heavy rains and flooding. Pray that humanitarian aid will reach the areas and people most in need. http://alertnet.org/db/an_art/59567/2009/10/4-172229-1.htm
