Pray for sick children

Over the past two weeks, 10 of our kids in Nigeria have been hospitalized for various reasons, at various times. As you can imagine, this is very difficult for the children and for the staff to handle. I have called Nigeria a few times and prayed with the kids who are sick. The staff is really doing well and we are thankful there is a hospital nearby.

It is possible, even probable, that this is a spiritual attack that is being manifested in physical sickness. God has protected the lives of the children and not one of our kids in the 11 years the ministry has been running, has died. We are still trusting He will return Usseini, but only He knows.

The reality is that many children in our ministry have come from satanic or islamic backgrounds. God rescued them out of Satan's army and the enemy continually fights against us. This has happened since day one of the ministry. However, this is the first time that so many children are being affected physically.

Whether it is a spiritual attack or a coincidence that all these kids are sick, they still need our prayers.

So can you please pray, for 30 seconds each day, for the physical and spiritual healing and protection over the children and the staff in Nigeria?

Hi Erin, you posted on Louie's blog under me!! I am so pleased that someone else has that young woman on their heart. Please keep praying for her. I'd love it if she saw that we were praying and felt less alone and really embraced by the Father.

I'll be praying for your continued improvement in health and also for the children in Nigeria.Isn't is wonderful that with our God there are no national or geographical boundaries and that he hears you in America and me in Australia!!!

I have some pics of our time at Passion on my blog and also a little write up about the Kneel prayer journey.

Blessings,Gail

Hi Erin,
I think you're doing a great job for God and the people of Nigeria. I just want to tell you that I shall be praying for the children in Nigeria and asking God for His special blessing upon you. May the joy of the Lord be your strength and may your good works inspire others to do more for the children.

God bless you,
Irene
