The coming days, weeks, months, and even years will be very tough and the road to recovery for Haiti will be unbelievably challenging.

Pray especially for the deaconesses of Latin America this week! Throughout the continent these women serve with their hearts and hands to reach out to the broken hearted, the poor and the cast out, and to bring the tremendous love of Christ to those who need His touch! Pray for strength for these women of God, for perseverance and willingness, to let Christ’s love shine through them. Pray for their safety and effectiveness as they travel from home to home and village to village, and that they would stay in the Word and in prayer themselves! Most importantly pray that more women can be found to serve as deaconesses and that the Lord will continue to work through these servants in Latin America.
