Prayer Request

As many of you know, Hurricane Felix is closing in on Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatamela.

A prayer request I received from Erin via email this morning:

Dear Barnabas Friends,
It looks as if the center of the storm Felix will pass over the Barnabas House in Pena Blanca sometime tomorrow.
We have an 18 member Cleft-Lip and Cleft-Palate Surgical Team arriving on Thursday Sept. 6th for 40+ surgeries. We are not sure if the airport will be open by then.
The children who will have surgery and their moms began to arrive at the Barnabas House last week. Movement to and from the San Pedro Sula Hospital may be a problem with high water. What can you do? Join us in prayer of all of Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala who will experience the heavy rains, flooding and mud slides that will accompany the storm. In those steep mountains this will be the real danger. Let’s hope the memory of Mitch allows the people of the mountains to take better cover and protection during these heavy rain storms.
Join us in prayer for Lori Cordova and the18 member Surgical Team for Traveling Mercies as they go to help these children.
We will keep you posted as we hear from Honduras

Thank you for praying with us.
In Christ's Service with you,
Linwood, Brenda, Erin, Lori, Matt and Grazyna

To that request, I would like to ask for additional prayers for my friends, Caitlin and Matt, who are currently living and teaching near Honduras' southeastern coast. Their classes have already been cancelled indefinitely.
