Stephanie

Laboring now .... please pray for Stephanie
and tonight's team delivering her (Beth, Jen Tara)

Briefly, sans great detail, some other facts and prayer needs tonight:

  • one of the pregnant ladies today had bruises all over her stomach from being beaten 
  • one of the pregnant women is 16 and sleeps on the ground - we hope/think she will move to the Harbor House at least for a time
  • one of the ladies is carrying twins - they both appear to be boys :)
  • one of the ladies tested positive for Malaria today and is due in two weeks
  • two new women joined the program today - last week Thursday five new ladies joined
On the home front ...
  • there is malaria at our house, three down and being treated now  - fevers and headaches and tears and sore bodies be gone!
 <heavy sigh>

These (and other) situations are a bit weighty right now to say the least.  We always always always  (I mean ALWAYS) appreciate and feel the power of people standing (sitting kneeling) together in prayer over these things. 

Lord, Your justice here and now ... to the least of these. 
Please.  
Amen.

I had to catch my breath when I read the part about bruises on her stomach from being beaten. In the back of my mind I know these sorts of things happen every day, but wow. Oh Jesus bless her and protect her. I've already started praying and will continue to.
I'm glad the Lord gives you grace to deal with these situations...I think I would curl up in a ball and rock back and forth and cry if presented with some of these situation. But I'm praying for you guys that you will have WISDOM and GRACE and the right words to speak life and truth into these women's lives.
And right now my prayer is that you will not become discouraged and weary but that you will be continually remind that "greater is He that is in you, then he that is in the world!!!"
