Day of Prayer and Fasting for Sanyati Baptist Hospital

This Friday, June 1st, from 10AM until 4PM (3AM until 9AM Central in the US), the pastors of the churches of the Sanyati area will join with others from the community to pray for the hospital.  We will be fasting and praying from early that morning until 4PM when the fast is broken.

Please pray that the Lord will show His favor on the people of the Sanyati area by:

• Blessing the renovations of the hospital that they might equip the hospital for many more years of medical service,
• Protecting those who come to volunteer whether they travel from another country or they simply walk to the hospital,
• Making the hospital continue to be a beacon of light for Christ in this area to meet both physical and spiritual needs,
• Blessing the children and families served by the hospital,
• Safely returning Doctor Byler and his family to Sanyati later this year,
• Providing another doctor (or doctors) to share the workload and provide year round medical care,
• Providing a supply of medicines to meet the needs of the area, and
• Providing spiritual growth of the hospital staff who may be discouraged because there is no doctor and few patients.

The other day, we were told a typical story of those who are in need of medical care.  When they are referred on to another hospital as there is no doctor on staff at this time, the cost may be so great that they go home to prepare to die rather than being able to get the lifesaving care they need.  In my heart, that is unacceptable.  Let us join together to fast and pray for the Lord to continue to move.  My family and I have traveled across the globe to be part of the work the Lord is doing here.  He has moved mightily in the hearts of many to orchestrate the changes that are happening today and for years to come.  We pray that the Lord will continue to move to make the hospital sustainable.  May all the glory be for the Lord!
