My youngest son is two months old. The past couple months have been a bit difficult for me. Though Beckett is generally in excellent heath, he has trouble while he's eating. He wriggles and kicks and cries and appears to be in pain. We (the doctors and us) are not sure exactly what is causing his distress. It's tough to see your child hurting and not know what to do for him.
Today as I sat down to write this prayer letter, I thought of all the Beng mothers who are so often in similar (though much more difficult) situations. Sick babies are very common in West Africa, and medical care is not so common. They often have to watch their babies suffer, not having the knowledge to help them themselves or the means to find and pay for medical care to have someone else help. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to be a Beng mom!
On top of this, few of them know Jesus in a personal way, so they don't have Him to turn to in their fears, worries, and sorrows.
Pray with me this month for Beng mothers. Pray that they will come to know Jesus so that He can help them through difficult times as a parent. Pray that the Lord would bring proper medical care to the Beng.
