Pray for Bangladesh

Many of you have been in touch with the news of the past week much more than me but as I was sifting through 10 days worth of email, I read about over 1000 Compassion sponsored children in peril from last week's floods. Please pray for Bangladesh, pray for the most vulnerable, pray for the children.

This excerpt from an email to me from Compassion International.

"Advisory: Flooding in Bangladesh.

International aid workers are struggling to help millions of people displaced by the recent flooding in parts of South Asia. The floods, caused by an abnormal monsoon season, have submerged vast areas of land in at least 38 of Bangladesh’s 64 districts. Compassion Bangladesh reports that children in at least seven Compassion-assisted projects have been affected.
Compassion Bangladesh staff workers say many of the affected Compassion-assisted children and their families are staying in disaster centers. However, staff workers are concerned that some children have already fallen sick from the water-borne diseases that have become epidemic in the area. To make matters worse, the severe flooding has also left many of these children’s parents or caregivers without work – magnifying their already impoverished situation.

Please pray for the entire Compassion family in Bangladesh that they may be comforted by God’s love and wisdom during this troubling time."
