Sickness Spreads at Good Samaritan

UPDATE: as of 9:30am PST 1/13/09 there are now 40 sick children.

Thandie is currently at the hospital with another 16 children who are experiencing high fevers and other flu like symptoms including sore throats, head aches, body aches, and chills. This brings the current total to 38 children who are sick at Good Samaritan Children's Home. We have never had this many sick children at once. Please join me in praying for these children and the staff. We do not have enough child care workers to care for this many sick children. Please pray! Pray for a hedge of protection for our staff and the children who are still well. Please pray that the staff will have the opportunity and wisdom to clean and sterilize the kitchen and bathroom facilities in an effort to stop the spreading. Please pray for the integrity of the medication the children are being given. Please pray that the children will respond quickly and completely to the medication. Please pray that the staff will be able to accurately and diligently administer the medication prescribed. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors to accurately diagnose each child. Please pray that these children will feel the love, strength and joy of the Lord through their illness. Please pray that the Lord will heal each one of these children according to His will.

Those of you looking for an update on my "new opportunity", please keep checking back. Things are very busy right now at Good Samaritan with 38 sick children and 4 staff & 2 teens awaiting their Court Hearing on Friday. I am still hopeful that my new opportunity will come to fruition this week....but waiting on the Lord's timing.
