Please be praying for this little girl. She is about 19 months old. Her family lives just 25 min away from us in a neighbouring village. She is the youngest of 8 children. Her mother brought her to see us just the day before we left to come out for Christmas break.
Her mother says that when she was 5 days old she died. Then she was alive again! But she cannot sit, roll over, follow you with her eyes, reach for a toy and so many other things a normal 19 month old can. She has had a poor appetite for a long time so she weighs just 9 1/2 lbs.
Thankfully we had deworming medicine on hand for the whole family plus formula and baby cereal. Her mother was very happy to get these things to help her out. We are seeking advice from a doctor friend here in Manila to see how we can best help her.
Please pray that we would be able to help her to get the right nourishment that she needs and any other help that we can give. Pray also that we will show the love of the Lord to this family.
