Charis Around
the World
Tidbits From Ebony
by Elizabeth Carmichael
Dear
Charis Family,
Greetings from one of the regional areas where many, many
Pushpins live. You have spent many newsletters reading
about and praying for me while I lived in this particular
region. Please take a moment now to pause and remember the
tens of millions of Pushpin women who do not know the One who
knits their children together in their wombs.
Please specifically pray for these two issues this month:
Cleftie Cutie--after a week in a malnutrition clinic, the
nomadic Pushpin family of a cleft palate child could not sustain
the inconvenience of having Cutie and his mother gone from the
home. They brought him back to the village. A few
weeks ago, at eight months of age, he still weighed less than
ten pounds. Please pray that, even though they had to
bring him back to his village, that he would continue to grow
strong enough to get his surgery. There is a hospital that
offers the surgery for free. Please pray for them, for God
to continue to provide for their work and for the hundreds of
children coming through to have their cleft palates corrected so
that they don't die of malnutrition.
Twins--Please lift up the nomadic mother with twins. We
have been encouraging her in her breastfeeding process and
encouraging people to help her weigh her baby once a week.
I haven't been able to follow up on her as I would have liked in
the past few weeks, so please just ask that her babies would
grow big and strong. We had to go through a reporting
process this week to a very reputable humanitarian organization
because they run the clinic where she delivered her twins and
one of the local doctors tried to pressure her into selling her
baby to the doctor. Please ask that, as that organization
and we work to assure the family that this was wrong and unjust
treatment, the community would not stop going to the clinic for
their health care needs which are dire.
As you pray for situations like this, do you realize that you
are praying for more than the health and wealth of destitute
families???? The men of this village have HAILED the NGO
and project staff just because we have helped with their little
babies. When they esteem us and receive our input and
help, their hearts are open to the fullness of all we would like
to see them gain. As you pray, you are changing their
lives and inviting the Lord in, asking His Kingdom to come on
earth as it is in heaven.
Please keep praying.......
Much Love,
Elizabeth C

'Behold,
I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the
ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child and
The one who labors with child, together,
A great throng shall return there...And My people shall be
satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
Jeremiah 31:8, 14
