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).Prayer Concerns for the week of 11/17/08

North Korea
• Please be in prayer for the children and people of North Korea experiencing tremendous food shortages and literally dying of hunger. Several years of flooding and failed crops, coupled with reduced food and fertilizer aid from other countries and organizations because of the North Korean government’s failure to comply with a nuclear disarmament agreement, have brought this country to the brink of famine.

• Pray for a change of heart for the leaders of this reclusive country where public executions are used as a tool of intimidation. Dissenters are often arrested, held in political prisoners’ camps and tortured. Their family members are also at risk of being arrested and jailed.
