A time of prayer and fasting for Kolfe....

Sticks and stones
may break my bones,
but words will never hurt me...
This phrase has been running
around in my mind all day.
The fact is that STICKS, STONES,
 and hurtful WORDS have
completely hurt 165 of the boys
 I love this week.
This photo could be the scene
any day of the week,
when the Kolfe boys travel outside
of their orphanage.
They are not accepted in their society.
And the "authorities" who are supposed
 to protect them,
turned on them last night.
Many were hurt physically, its safe to say
ALL were effected emotionally,
and it's not over yet.
Obviously there are many details
 I CAN'T share here,
but what I can do is tell you
that these boys need to
know the reality of this next photo...
~ that HIS hands are big enough to
 hold the world in HIS palm.
~ That HIS heart is broken for what has
happened to them this week.
~ That HIS Son came to Earth for
each and every one of them.

They need a miracle,
and they need it NOW.
If you feel so lead,
join 20 or so of us who will
be fasting and praying beginning Wednesday
for the Boys of Kolfe.
Contact me if you need more specifics
than I can provide here.

We will pray for...
Physical healing for those hurt.
Peace to reign in the midst of turmoil.
Fears to be turned to the only one
 who can conquer them.
Release for those still held.
Forgiveness of those who strive against them.
Repentance of those who have wronged others.
and mostly...
 that each and every boy and the boys
who stone them and harass them...
would find the answer
to all of their needs...
HIS name... J-E-S-U-S!
