One night in Bopolu, we met JJ. His sister braided my hair. His mother taught us how to make doughnuts over a charcoal fire. And his brother Saki emphatically called me "whitewoman!" as I walked passed their home on my way to and from VBS each day. I think JJ is absolutely precious - so I'm sharing him with you.
Could you please pray for his health? He may be suffering from worms as his stomach is swollen outwards and his belly button is protruding quite far from his body. Praise God, there are programs in his village that will soon provide treatment and on-going care for his condition. In the meantime, please pray for his complete healing.
Thank you so much for your love for children like JJ! It is a privilege to pray with you to our good and gracious God.
