sons, 10-year-old Reagan and his 3-year-old brother, as they cope with the
imminent loss of their mother. Pray for a community of support to surround
these two boys during this dark season. Pray they will experience God’s love

South Sudan
·
Keep in prayer
the estimated one million people who have fled South Sudan’s civil war. Pray
God will provide for the most immediate and deepest needs of the children and families
displaced by this three-year-old conflict.
·
Pray for the
internally displaced people (IDPs) whose current living conditions are deplorable.

their vulnerable circumstances. http://tinyurl.com/og3trl2
·
Please pray for girls,
boys, women, and men who’ve been victims of the horrific sexual violence used as
a weapon of war by both sides in this conflict. A majority of the victims have
been below age 18 with the youngest victim only 2 years old. Pray for young
victims who’ve been raped, gang raped, abducted, forced into sexual slavery, or
coerced into marriage. Pray for healing, comfort, and freedom for these
traumatized children.
·
Pray God will
provide the resources needed to help victims of sexual violence recover
physically and psychologically.
·
Pray for a
radical shift away from using sexual violence as a weapon of war. Pray for a
change of heart in those in the military and rival militias who encourage men
to rape women and girls based on their ethnic backgrounds or political affiliations.
·
Pray for peace,
reconciliation, and healing in South Sudan, the world’s newest country.
Thailand, Burma
·
Please keep the
staff and volunteers with Christian Far East Ministry close in prayer during a
difficult season. Thai authorities won’t allow foreigners into several refugee
camps along the Thai/Burma border at this time, possibly due to clandestine
meetings between foreign military personnel and leaders of an ethnic rebel
militia.
·
Pray this
situation will be resolved soon and that Mae La Muu and Mae La Oon refugee
camps will be opened again. Pray the organization will be allowed to continue its
ministry to the children in these camps.
·
Pray for the
leaders of this ministry as they seek God’s guidance on how to proceed in the
current circumstances.

Pray for 18-month-old
Leanne* and her mother and grandparents during this challenging time in their
lives. Leanne’s mother was arrested after she was found passed out in her car
on a busy highway. She was under the influence of multiple drugs and had Leanne
in the back seat of the car.
·
Pray Leanne will
feel God’s comforting presence in what must be a confusing and frightening time
for this little one. Please pray she is in a safe place with qualified
caregivers.
·
Pray Leanne’s
mother will experience healing from her deep-rooted addictions. If she is
convicted, Leanne’s mother faces up to 10 years in prison for a third-degree
felony.
·
Please keep Leanne’s
grandparents close in prayer as well. Pray for healing in their relationships
with their troubled daughter and her little girl.
Faces of Children
- Pray for Faces of Children prayer partner Linda as she recovers from another bout of what doctors believe is autoimmune pancreatitis, a painful, chronic inflammation thought to be caused by the body’s immune system attacking the pancreas. Pray God will bring healing to this faithful intercessor and lift the stress in her life that seems to cause these attacks. http://tinyurl.com/kym3q3f http://tinyurl.com/npzlpjn
