There are four adults in the wards right now who are undergoing the extensive, painful process of rebuilding faces that just aren't there anymore - Marietou, Alpha, Fodi and Bala.
Sometimes we see miracles, and sometimes the healing takes much longer. For these four, the battle is not just against a lifetime lived on the fringes but also against infection and malnutrition and wounds that just aren't getting better.
So we're going to turn to the One who knows them, who created them and wept over them when they fell ill all those years ago. We're holding a twenty-four hour prayer vigil starting tomorrow (Tuesday) at eight AM our time (four AM in New York) and running through eight AM on Wednesday. The last time I asked for prayer on this blog, it was for the six hundred pink sheets, and in less than a week, all six hundred patients had someone praying for him or her.
We don't have a week this time; starting tomorrow morning, we're storming the gates of heaven on behalf of these precious four. You don't have to pray all day long, but please stand with us as we plead with the One who holds them in the palm of His hand.
