Our family situation is very difficult. I don't have a job; some days I work as a day laborer and some days I'm unemployed. My youngest son is sickly.
She recently visited her husband in prison, thanks to VOM donors. Her husband is ill. She said:
I’m worried for my husband but God gives me His comfort that He is always with us though we have to face sickness or hard situations; He will help me to overcome my hard times.
I am so inspired to hear of this woman's faithful devotion to her husband regardless of circumstance. Please pray for their family.

I'd like to pass on another current situation. It's about a Congolesian Pastor in Stockholm, Sweden who's about to be repelled(?) back to Congo tomorrow where he's most probably destined to face death for his regime critics.
Please pass on and pray for him!
