Prayer Requests

The Mission Team asks that you keep the following in your prayers ...

1. The children of the Home for Hill Tribe Children Education Project, a Christian orphanage in Mae Ka Chan, Thailand. Nurture them and comfort them, and encourage those who care for them and guide them. And a prayer of thanks for the hospitality and the blessings they shared with our team.

2. One of our guests at the Garden of Hope party for at-risk children and their parents was a mother whose health had deteriorated to the point she could no longer nurse her child, who has health problems in addition to starvation. Pray for her continuing recovery, and for the health of her baby.

3. Help Faa Sumitra Choemue maintain her incredible level of energy as she works the streets of Chiang Mai's red light district on behalf of Garden of Hope, establishing relationships with at-risk children, and women in prostitution, and sharing Christ's truth with them, that they may someday experience a life of restoration, dignity and hope.

4. Lift up and encourage Nee, a young woman of Chiang Mai who has stared a new job as part of ongoing efforts to restore her life. She's been having a hard time lately, and say that she is lonely. Strengthen her and guide her on her new path, that she doesn;t fall back into her old lifestyle.

5. Pray for the people of Thailand as they deal with - in addition to the travails of everyday life that we all experience - changes and prospects of change for their nation ..... mourning for Her Royal Highness Galyani Vadhana, Princess of Narathiwat, who passed away January 2. The prospect of significant changes in the country's political leadership. And concern for the health of Thailand's 80-year-old monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
