a call to prayer

Have you ever asked others to pray for you as you were going through a scary or uncertain time in your life? Have you ever interceded on behalf of someone a great distance away that you did not know?


Here is your opportunity.
We are asking you to pray for the ladies in Heartline's Prenatal Program.


We'll update this post periodically and re-post it with new ladies that have joined the program. As women deliver, the ladies due the soonest will move toward the top of the post. We'll try to keep you informed as each woman delivers or has specific prayer needs.


Prayer is no small thing. For each of these women we know that intersession is powerful and that God must work on their behalf. 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.
