My heart is so moved. My daughter and her husband are just on their way home from ethiopia adopting their baby. There are soooo many... I want to pray... please give me a special one or five to hold in my heart and pray for and help if I can.. Thank you for sharing...
I pray each day for you all. Please send me names and I will pray for them directly. Prayer is powerful and I would be honored to pray and pray and pray....
Delurking to ask you to please send me the name of the first person who comes to your mind from those hundreds of pink sheets who you think needs prayer the most. I will storm Heaven with prayers. I think you are amazing.
I'm going to read your post to our college group tonight and ask you would like to pray. We usually have about 40 students and I'm praying right now that they'll want to be part of prayer team.
Send me names and I'll pass them on--and pray myself! And I'm praying for your tears also. I know they come from your heart, but I'm praying that they don't break your heart.
I want one. Choose one you think I'd LOVE... who might love ME. There's probably way too many to decide, but you know me - choose the perfect one for me. I want to pray.
I'll have a few names please. God has put a burden for women in my heart so please send me some mamas names or yet to be mamas or little girls.
Psalm 50:15
Please send me a few names to pray for. God has given me a heart to work with teenage girls so if you have any on your list, please send a few of those names my way!
I would love to have five names to pray for. I will also keep You in my prayers and will share this on twitter and facebook to get some more folks praying for specific people.
God bless you in all that you do and give you peace comfort, strength and encouragement.
I, too, will pray about the situation in general, but I would be honored to have 3 names to pray for specifically. I'll also pass the word along to help. Just like our friends who try to save the Mingi children in East Africa, you cannot save them all. In the horrible sadness and frustration, please be encouraged by the ones that God has enabled you to help. He knows the names of those you could not, and we'll pray that His touch will be on them for eternal healing.
Directed here from another blog, and now I have tears running down my face. Send me a name, or several names; babies or children or pregnant/nursing mamas. I will pray.
Hi Ali. I would also be honored to have a few names. I'm Jewish and I'm getting married in a month, and there's an old Jewish custom (maybe in other faiths too?) that says a bride is close to God's ear on her wedding day. Just in case there's some truth to that, I will make sure I think of them on that day.
Also, I've been lurking on your blog for years and have never said something that's always been on my mind: I am not a Christian and I never will be, and I don't pray the same way you do. But the truths you speak here are universal. Religion and geography and everything aside, the power and wisdom and strength of your work come through loud and clear, and I am honored to be able to witness it and learn more about the people you serve. Thank you for writing.
I lead a girl's club at church. We have 7 girls and 2 leaders. Can you send us 9 names and I'll give each of us a name to pray for. What a great way to encourage us all to be involved! I love reading your blog - although my daughter laughs because I usually cry - in joy and in sadness. God bless as you finish your time and move into new avenues of service.
Please send me names to pray for, I'm on it. I have no preference, just send me the ones you feel I should pray for. Thank you for getting us involved in this, sometimes I feel so helpless sitting here at my London desk. While the work I do is aimed at combatting poverty, it still doesn't feel as productive as being there.
Hi Ali,
I'm the new admin. assistant in the Canadian Office for Mercy Ships. I came across your blog a couple weeks ago and look forward to reading each new post. Please send me the names of 5 people, including a couple children. My husband and I will pray. Thank for writing, thank you for doing what you do and thank you for helping us to be more involved.
I was on Mercy Ships two years ago at the end of the outreach in Liberia. Thank you for all your work. Please send me 5 names that I can pray for. May God bless you.
Just came across your blog from Vanessa's blog "A Sweet Fragrance". She mentioned the need for prayer for these people and thought to stop by and visit. I'm only 16 but would LOVE to become a nurse and volunteer with Mercy Ships. I've already read the book written about the ministry by Don Stephens.
Please send me the name of a girl to pray for. May God bless these people!
Sorry if you get this comment more than once but I'm having difficulty getting it to go through. I left a comment just a few minutes ago requesting a name to pray for but forgot to mention that you can contact me through my blog as I prefer not to give out my email address. My blog address is www.heirsofpromise.net Thanks!
I'll pray. Please send me specific names (anywhere between 1 and 5)... little babies or children. Are there any with heart defects or chromosomal disorders? (In memory of a little sister who had both.)
I would love to be part of this and join in prayer; I will take any 2 or 3 names you send me... God bless your continuing work and you for your willingness to keep responding to His call over your life.
I will pray for one. Send me whatever name you as you feel led. Thanks. “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." Luke 12:6-7
Hello, and God Bless you. Please send me 5, 4 boys, and 1 girl like my family. One of my sons, Jeff Locke just returned from Africa Mercy and will be rejoining the ship in the new year. I've read your blog and many others while Jeff has been in Africa but only thought of the ones being healed. I shed tears with you and will gladly pray for those who were not. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to pray with focus for those left behind. I'll pray.
Deaar Ali, My name is Beth and I am part of a biblestudy group in Pretria South Africa. Would you please send us two names of children to be prayed for. We would very much like to be part of the prayer chain for these children. We will be peaying for you and your ministry as well. God Bless
Thank you for being such a blessing to the body of Christ, only heaven will ever reveal the magnitude and effects of your acts of love on the earth.
It will be a great joy to team up with everybody here in prayer. Please send me whatever names have remained and I will be sure to pray for them.
God bless you Ali.
