2,000 Beautiful Children Orphaned in Liberia

Children in a school where our family ministered.
Please pray for Liberia.  Last week, I read reports that over 2,000 children have been orphaned because of Ebola.  20% of those children are under the age of 2.  The reports went on to say that the Liberian government is trying to figure out what to do with all the children.  This morning during our family's devotions, our children counted 2,000 Chereos so we could better understand the need. 


The counting BROKE MY HEART!  I believe the government should never have to try to figure out what to do with orphans.  That is the church's responsibility.  That is our responsibility.  It is my responsibility.  


Please join me in praying for Liberia.  Pray that there would be a healthy church in every town and village of Liberia within our lifetime.  Pray for those who have been orphaned.  Pray for the sick and dying.

    Thank you for teaching your children these important truths, and for bringing them to our attention as well. We will continue to pray for Liberia, but now more specifically as we pray we will ask that God will be a Father to the fatherless and prepare hearts and homes to receive these precious souls.
