Mali, Chad

Give God thanks
that the number of new cases of malaria among children has dropped by
two-thirds in Mali and 86 percent in Chad. Thanks be to God for the Medecins
Sans Frontieres (MSF) large-scale malaria prevention project that’s drastically
reduced the number of cases in the 175,000 children targeted in these two West
African countries where malaria is a leading killer. http://tinyurl.com/98xv7vf http://tinyurl.com/94qqa28

Pray parents will
be vigilant about protecting their children during the peak malaria season and
use all methods of prevention including bed nets and spraying.
·
Pray for children
who contract this disease—young children who get malaria are very vulnerable to
death because of their weaker immunity. Pray medical care is available to each
child in need.
·
Please pray the
respective government ministries of health in Chad and Mali will follow through
with this program after MSF hands it over in a few years.

Please pray for a
cure for this disease and give thanks to God for the medical advances being
made to help children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes. http://tinyurl.com/9y9rvae

Give God thanks

headaches, high fevers, and vomiting several weeks after he had surgery to

levels are normalizing! Landon’s doctors were concerned he might have bacterial
or inflammatory meningitis. http://tinyurl.com/8dsw76n

Please continue
in prayer for this little boy who was abandoned at the local bus station in his

Give God thanks
for the new opportunities to share the ministry of Faces of Children! Please
pray for Faces prayer partner Bethann as she prepares to share the prayer
prompt bead project with the children of her church in California. Continue to
pray for Faces prayer partners Marci and Diane as they prepare to introduce the
ministry of Faces of Children to their congregation in Maine on Children’s
Sabbath, October 21, 2012. Pray God will be at work in the hearts of those who
participate in this service and be moved to pray for children.

Give
thanks to God for the life of 11-year-old Andrew who died late last week.
Andrew was shot twice in the head and once in the chest by his father who then
committed suicide. Pray for Andrew’s older brother Billy, the close friend of a
Faces of Children prayer partner, as he struggles with this devastating
situation and questions the presence of God. Pray Billy will experience God’s
presence through an outpouring of love, compassion, and comfort from those
around him. http://tinyurl.com/9zpuuy4
