I wanted to share some Compassion-related prayer requests with you today :)
- Jessi is traveling to Tanzania today! I'm sure she'd appreciate some prayers that all her flights will go well and that her luggage will make it too. She'll be visiting her three boys in TZ - Said, Bonifas, and Elisha!
- I got a sweet letter from my Eduardito this week. In it, he shared that his mom doesn't attend church. I'd really appreciate prayers that she will know just how much Jesus loves her!
- Citlali. You know that feeling when a child needing a sponsor keeps popping up and you'd give the world to sponsor her but there is absolutely no way you can? Yeah. Well for 3 weeks now, stunning Citlali has been on my heart. She's looking for a sponsor still. Please pray that she will be matched with the perfect sponsor who will encourage her and love her!

I'll be praying!! I love how you asked for prayer for Jessi's trip. And Citlali is lovely... I hope she is sponsored soon. It's so hard to hear of kids having family members who don't know God. I hope your Eduardito's mom comes to know Him.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hannah!! :)
DeleteI'll be praying too :-) (I'll stick in an extra prayer that God might enable you to sponsor Citlali! :)). <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess!! Oh, I wish I could. Citlali is *still* waiting <3
DeleteI agree with Jessica! As you probably know from reading my posts on OC, Lizzie, I had a similar situation with Rosalie that you now have with Citali. I looked everywhere I possibly could to find options for earning an extra 41 dollars a month and it just wasn't happening. Finally, I got desperate. I prayed and said "God, if you want me to sponsor Rosalie then please provide the money!" And he has! If it's His will that you sponsor Citali, He won't let you down. And even if you are not able to sponsor her, she sure is blessed to have someone like you advocating on her behalf!
ReplyDeleteYujie, I do remember! Thanks! I am sure that if God wanted me to sponsor her, He'd provide a way. But for now, I don't see one. So I'll just keep praying for Citlali!!! :) Oh and so thrilled that you are now able to sponsor Rosalie!
DeleteThank you for praying for Jessi! (I'm her mom.) She's doing well, soaking it all in and loving on tons of kids. Tomorrow is the big VBS day and I know she's excited about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Karen! I imagine Jessi is. Awww, so fun! I know she was super excited about VBS. I'll continue praying that it goes super awesome! :)
