Faces of Children: Call for Prayer, and Action

Faces of Children is an ecumenical prayer ministry under the auspices of First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas. Our mission is to initiate ministries of prayer for children in churches, communities, and neighborhoods. In doing so, we seek to provide an opportunity for people of God to join together, learn about children and their needs throughout the world, and celebrate Christ's love (especially as it relates to children).

A message from Chris Laufer, Coordinator, Faces of Children

Greetings, Faces of Children Prayer Partner,

Lisa Thompson, a friend of Faces of Children and a dedicated advocate for trafficked or commercially sexually exploited children and women, often sends us information about what’s going on around the country and world in the battle against modern day slavery.

She sent the article below to her list serve last week and we felt it was worth sharing with you. As Margaret Purvis, our ministry founder recently wrote, “Sometimes a cause deserves to be highlighted. It gives those who wish to participate an opportunity to express their passion for the well being of children as an action in addition to prayer.”

• CNN REPORT: 'Toddlers and Tiaras' and sexualizing 3-year-olds

• PTC PETITION: Tell TLC To Stop Sexualizing Toddlers!

Thank you for bringing children before God in prayer. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about what’s happening to them and for asking God in what other way you may serve these vulnerable ones.

If you have requests about children, those who care for them, those who have authority over them, or those who harm them (the really hard prayers to say sometimes), please send them to me at at claufer@facesofchildren.net, or give me a call.

Blessings,

Chris
