Isn't She Beautiful?

I was greeted this morning by an email from Kriek Gerber, our dear missionary friend who is based in Swaziland, Africa. She shared the following:

“Hallo!

I saw Love yesterday; she was eating (of course!). She looks good, but I couldn’t get her to smile. I also saw her grandmother the day before. She is living with them, but she is weak. We are going to start her on Juice Plus and we hope that it will help. Please pray for them.

Attached is a picture of her!

Hope you are well!” Carike (Kriek) Gerber

Please take a minute or two to post a prayer for Love’s Go-Go. She is HIV positive and not doing well. There are four children under 5 years old at this homestead. We will do our best to get your prayers printed and translated to her. Imagine the healing in us covering this woman with compassionate prayer!

If you ever feel that what you do for the poor, widow, orphan or ‘least of these,’ is insignificant – think again! Look at the picture of Love just three months ago and the photo of her yesterday. Kriek and Jumbo Gerber, Dennis Brock and the entire D-TEAM are Jesus in the flesh. God bless AIM, Children’s HopeChest, Matthew 25 and the people of Swaziland! Thank you, Father!

Father, I pray for this Go Go. I pray that you will hold her hand through this time off illness. Father, please remind her that you are with her and you have promised not to leave your children. Father, thank you for sending her to these children and we pray that you will continue to strengthen her as she continues to minister to them. Thank You Father that you have defeated HIV...You have defeated poverty, You have defeated uncertainty...You have made a way for love and her "siblings". Thank you for continuing to provide for them and make a way when there seems to be no way....Father, thank you for your miracles. I love You and ask these things in Jesus name.Amen.

I will keep Love and Love's family in my prayers! They inspire me so much! Here is my prayer for them:
Dear Lord I thank you for this day and letting my dad and alexis going to africa and putting a finger on an african child can make BIG difference and one of the person that my dad touched was Love. He is very special to her. and Lord, Please ut a shield over them and pray for them as each day passes. And I hope and pray that it will get better.
Amen

Father God, we see from these pictures that You are already healing Love and we thank You that what You have begun You will complete. Father we pray that You will also heal Love's Go-GO so that she may continue to care for these precious children. Father thank You that You already have a plan in place and that in Your perfect timing You will work that out. Father thank You for all who serve "the least of these". In Your Son's precious name, Amen.
