Pray the Lord will comfort those who are afraid and weary. A local missionary spends much of his time at the maternity ward in his community, where he ministers to and prays for the women there. Many of these new mothers suffer from depression because they come from severe poverty and struggle to survive, with the ministry estimating that nearly 80 percent are in desperate situations. “It is indeed a sad state of affairs,” the ministry leader said. “Many elope with men who are drug or alcohol addicts, and they hope for a better life, not knowing it will be worse.” Your donations help missionaries encourage and assist those in need.
