We are asking you to pray for the ladies in Heartline's Prenatal Program.
Prayer is no small thing. For each of these women we know that intersession is powerful and that God must work on their behalf. Some of our younger first time moms have suffered from abuse and/or rape. They have trauma to process in addition to the challenges of the pregnancy. The odds are against pregnant women in Haiti. The vast majority of the pregnancies are considered "high risk". As you likely know, the maternal death rate is very high in Haiti as is the infant mortality rate. Every healthy birth at our maternity center is a miracle given the obstacles the women must overcome.
Thank you for lifting up the women and their soon-to-be-born babies to the only One who knows their every need. Thank you for praying for all of the Heartline staff (pictured at end of this post) as we discern how to best come along side and encourage the women in our programs. We ask you to pray for unusual wisdom in every delivery.

It's such an honor to pray for these women. Thanks for the beautiful pictures, Tara!
Praying here in Wis. Tara!
Praying in arizona
I will be praying specifically for Nadine until she delivers. Then I will focus on the next lovely lady due to deliver.
My belly button looked just like Nadine's when I was pregnant with Lesley. I joked that it was like one of those things you poke into a turkey that pops out when the turkey is done. :)
Thanks once again for giving us this opportunity to be directly involved with the work of Heartline.
praying for stephanie & rosena! thanks for allowing us to be involved in praying for the ladies.
just prayed joyfully over each of these women! God is sovereign, and He already has great and mighty plans for each of these precious babes! I will continue to pray for Etienne, as she stuck out to me so much when I moved through the list.
Praising Him for all you do, for the courage you are able to offer the weak. Thank you for being love in, what is quite often, the absence of it.
I will pray for Marvena, because her due date is my husband's birthday; and for Carol, because having a first baby at 40 is awesome. And a due date of Valentine's Day is super sweet too.
Hey Troy...
So Grateful that you guys are there for these Moms and Babies!
I have no idea who to choose to pray for...can you pick one or two that maybe havent been picked up by other prayer warriors???
Also was wondering if you have need for somebody to step into Becky's position once she heads home during the summer?? I have a degree in child development and experience teaching in American preschool settings. I would love to share that with kiddos in Haiti :)
Email if you guys need that kind of help in the future :)
Loving God, Loving Haiti!

Praying for Guerda and Vitana!
I am praying for all of these lovely ladies, especially for Stephanie.
Up here in Canada, I'm praying for Faphane and Yanique
I will pray for Rosena!
It is a strange and marvelous thing to be caught up in prayer for someone you've never even met in person. The Spirit is so amazing. I mentioned on FB - I've committed to praying for Guerline and Jeannise
Praying for Carol and Fanie.
I am praying for Rosena. We have the same due date :)
I'll pray for Olguine and Clotilde.
Hi Tara,
I will pray for Vitana, she looks soooo somber and I can't even imagine the stresses she is dealing with carrying twins & her daily life...I had twin daughters, so I know the physical toll it takes. God bless you all!
thank you guys for agreeing to pray for specific ladies - i know the list is long but if you just cover one or two and watch as they get close to being due - that is a huge gift to them.
if you ever want more specific prayer requests please feel free to email me about the lady you are covering and I can give you more details and specifics.

Hi Tara! I will cover young Loudia and sweet Patricia. April and July. Thanks for sharing these pics--makes it more real for us. --Jen Tompkins
I am praying for Guerda. I sponsor a child through Compassion with the same name, so I was drawn to her immediately.
Praying for Beatrice.
Love and prayers to all!!!!!!!
I'm moving on to Nadege and Jesula, now that my other ladies have delivered.

Praying for Nahomie and her sweet babe....
Just realized I hadn't checked here in a while.
Praying for Rebecca and Wislene.
Beautiful ladies, one and all.
As always, Heartline workers lifted up.
Blessings ~SN
I love praying for these ladies and for the work y'all do! Praying for Rebecca, Shedlyne, and Ogluine. ( not sure I spelled all those names correctly, but there faces are with me)
We're praying here in Ohio specifically for Dani and her twins. - Jen P.
Jen P -
Dani's twins were born a number of weeks ago but are still hospitalized (immature lungs) -- one boy and one girl. Please know we appreciate your prayers for them !
I just realized that we're wearing the exact same outfit in our pictures. You know what they say about great minds and all of that :)
Did you notice I have a piece of granola bar on my right shoulder? I guess you'd already eaten yours.
hahaha I hadn't noticed that. and yes, I'm sure I had just eaten one or had one nearby.
Thanks for adding new ladies! Praying!!
Tara, I will be praying for Cenline and Dada. Thank you for this opportunity to join in prayer with your ministry - in a very specific way.
It is always really hard to choose just a couple, knowing there are real lives and stories and needs behind each picture, each lady so valuable. I will pray for Ginette and Rania until they deliver.
.... on to Fabienne and Menchica.
