URGENT PRAYER

DEAR FAMILY & FRIENDS,

PLEASE PRAY FOR NATHANIEL JAMES....
HE IS BEING HOSPITALIZED DUE TO HIGH INFECTION. HIS MOTHER DID NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO HAVE PRE-NATAL CARE. SHE WAS ALREADY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT WHEN SHE CAME TO US. NATHANIEL WAS BEING BORN WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT SHE HAD SEVERAL STDS AND SHE IS POSITIVE FOR HEPAB...WHICH MEANS ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN PAST TO NATHANIEL. PLEASE PRAY FOR SUPERNATURAL HEALING AND MIRACLES IN NATHANIEL AND IN HIS MOM.

OUR OTHER BABY, HANNA JOY, IS 3 MONTHS NOW...SHE WENT TO THE DOCTOR TODAY AS WELL DUE TO A COUGH. SHE IS QUITE SICK AS WELL. SHE IS STAYING IN THE STAFF HOUSE AND IS ON 4 DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS FOR HER LITTLE LUNG INFECTION. PRAY FOR HEALING FOR HANNA JOY.

WHILE WAITING FOR THE BABIES TO SEE THE DOCTOR, I RECEIVED THE CALL THAT ANOTHER ONE OF OUR GIRLS STILL IN THE STREETS DIED YESTERDAY. SHE WAS 18. HER NAME WAS ANN-ANN. SHE DELIVERED A BABY IN DECEMBER AND WAS STILL IN THE STREETS. ANN-ANN WAS VERY ADDICTED TO THE STREETS; SHE STARTED LIVING ON THE STREET AND WAS PROSTITUTED AT AGE 12. WHEN I SAW HER JUST AFTER SHE GAVE BIRTH SHE WAS HIGH AND ABSOLUTELY GRIPPED WITH GRIEF THAT HER BABY HAD BEEN GIVEN AWAY TO SOMEONE ELSE. IT WAS HEART WRENCHING TO SEE HER IN THAT CONDITION. TODAY MY HEART IS BROKEN AND GRIEVED AT THE LOSS OF ANN-ANN. SHE WAS A SWEET GIRL FULL OF HOPE AND PROMISE AS WELL AS HURTS AND PAIN. HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE? SO MANY PEOPLE SAY THEY CARE, SAY THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP, BUT IT IS ONLY WORDS AND EMPTY CHATTER. TODAY IS A HARD DAY IN BUTUAN. THE REALITY OF JUST HOW FRAGILE LIFE REALLY IS CAN BE A SOBBERING FEELING. ANN-ANN WAS HERE AND IN AN INSTANT HER LIFE CUT SO DRASTICALLY SHORT. SO MANY DIE IN THE PROCESS OF MINISTRY HERE. AND STILL WE CONTINUE TO BE LIMITED BY FUNDING AND WORKERS. CHURCH, PLEASE WAKE UP...ARISE TO YOUR CALLING...BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF CHRIST. PLEASE PRAY FOR THE MANY MORE ANN-ANN'S STILL OUT THERE ON THE STREETS TONIGHT. PRAY FOR MORE WORKERS, PRAY FOR MORE FUNDING FOR PDK AS WE CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO KIDS IN THE STREETS. SHARE THE VISION OF PDK WITH OTHERS AND PRAY, GIVE, OR COME OVER HERE AND HELP OUT!

UNTIL EVERY CHILD KNOWS THE FATHER'S LOVE,
TERESA
