A 6-year-old boy and two of his siblings now live at a children’s home run by a native ministry because their father—a poor farmer—was concerned that their village might soon be destroyed in the ongoing civil war. Another group of siblings and their mother also recently arrived at the home after their father was presumed killed by the military. The ministry was able to employ their mother because she once was a part-time teacher. Donations of $35 or $70 support aid such as this to those displaced through war and other turmoil. Pray the Lord will protect those living through such challenging times.
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.” (Nahum 1:7)
