Kazakhstan, United States
- Please pray that God will provide a community of support to help 1-year-old Tia who needs medical care and a forever family. Tia is being raised in an orphanage in Kazakhstan and can’t get medical treatment until she is adopted. Pray that Tia’s case would find favor with the Kazakh government so she can have this surgery even if she hasn’t been adopted.
- Pray that God will provide discernment for Tami who is advocating on Tia’s behalf from the United States. Pray that God will provide a forever family for Tia.
Nigeria
- Pray for the children of Nigeria’s Plateau state as ethnic and religious violence erupts again. Plateau state is at the crossroads of Nigeria’s Muslim north and Christian south. It has been the setting for over a decade of unrest between indigenous groups and settlers from the north fighting for control over fertile farmlands. Pray for the families and friends of those killed in the massacre last week. More than 100 bodies—including those of babies, toddlers, and children—were buried in a mass grave near one of the attacked villages. Pray for peace and reconciliation between religious and ethnic groups throughout Nigeria, and especially in Plateau state. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LDE6270LU.htm http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LDE6281QO.htm http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100307/twl-scores-killed-in-nigeria-violence-696b303.html

Pray for peace and healing in this region. http://alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/HEA136192.htm
