Lord, AIDS is a horrible plague.
It is sometimes the result of a sinful lifestyle. Sometimes it has been the result of receiving a life-saving blood transfusion that was inadvertently contaminated with HIV.
For our little ones in Africa, it is often the result of just being there. Being born into a family with AIDS. Being raped by a person hoping to be “delivered” from the disease because the witch doctor told him it would work.
Father, when you sent Jesus to die for us on the cross, your Word says that he took beatings, “stripes on his back,” for our healing. You have also told us, in your Word, that we are to ask you for anything we need. To ask and receive.
All we need to do is ask. Believe. Receive. And to not forget to thank you for the answers.
Today we are asking you to heal AIDS.
To heal our little children who are hurting. Not just to heal them of AIDS, but to heal their little hearts and spirits from the memory of the terrors accompanying the torment they received while being infected.
Heal mothers and fathers. Heal sisters and brothers. Heal their bodies. Heal their souls.
Heal this beautiful, yet horribly stricken continent of Africa.
Send revival.
Save, deliver, heal, for Jesus' sake.
For your glory alone.
We praise you for hearing and answering prayer.
In Jesus' name, Amen

Jean, this is Martha Fry's sister from C3 church, Gina Witcher. I met you after the service at C3... we are preparing to go to France. I just want you to know how much we appreciate the ministry you guys are doing. I have had such a deep burden for years for the type of children you are working with. It has been such a blessing to pray with our children every day for the kids who "don't have food or a church and are sick... and many without mommies and daddies." It was so exciting to be able to show my 4 yr. old who prayed for the kids to have a church almost everyday, the church building on one of the 40 days of prayer. We will be keeping you all in our prayers and be reading your blogs. Lots of love, gina
gina...thanks for your message and the report on your child's response to other kids' needs. amazing the compassion of children.
