Prayer

Bea Malherbe

Dear HG family,

I have a new prayer request and wanted to also just send an udate on an ongoing one on the list:

First, we have close friends who's three-month-old grandson, Joshua, will undergo major heart surgery tomorrow. The procedure would take a minimum of six hours, but more likely longer. Please lift up this family and everything that goes along with such a major medical situation.

Second, without going into any detail, I would appreciate some prayers for some complicated family situations back home. The Lord knows the details.

And lastly, an update on Mohammed that we have ben praying for a long time:

For those don't know the background, Mohammed is one of my English students. He is from Afghanistan. He did a lot of contract work during the war. During the craziness of the final withdrawal he was advised to leave for his own safety, but could not take his family with him. The situation in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate. So he is very anxious about their safety. The process of reuniting is just extremely slow, despite him following every letter of the law. My heart breaks for him every conversation I have with him. It is clear that he is a family man. His green card was finally approved recently, but 3 months later he still has not recieved it. Please pray for him for every detail, and for so many Afghan families who are in the same situation. Please pray for people to be properly vetted so that those who served us well will not pay for the consequences of others who harbor illwill. And please pray that I will know how to love him well, to know how to support him, and to show him Jesus in all my interactions with him.

Thank you for taking the time to read and pray for these requests. Sometimes we just have nowhere else to turn.

Under His grace
