Prayer requests and MORE Honduras

Three prayer requests today:

Swine flu!

Just received word that 4 of the 6 projects our group visited in Honduras have been closed because of H1N1. The projects are scheduled to reopen 1 July. Please pray for the children and the projects during this time.

(On my side of the world, Q*atar health officials confirmed its first two cases of the H1N1 virus. There must be some hysteria for I have just received the following text from Q*tel, the Q*atari government Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology licensed telecommunication service: The Supreme Council of Health denies the occurrence of H1N1 case in a restaurant, and calls for getting information from the right sources.)

Second, KCBI’s Days of Compassion are June 17-18. Please pray that God will bless this campaign and that children will be sponsored. (Check out Compassion’s site by clicking the button on the right of my page.)
Finally, earlier this week, a friend of mine requested prayer for his 17-year-old son who was scheduled to undergo major back surgery to fuse 7 vertebrae in the thoracic region of his spine and insert two titanium rods in his spine. I just received word that the surgery was stopped mid-procedure for Christopher lost feeling in his legs. He has gained some sensation in the legs but no movement as yet. The next two days are critical. Please pray for Chris.
AND...
I have added more Honduras pictures. You may check them out here!

Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and He holds us responsible to ACT.
