Please pray that our daughter Agape will be safe. Her orphanage is located in Kinshasa, which is the capital city that this news story is reporting on. We are praying that God protects her and all of the other children from violence, and that she will have enough good food and water to wait out any uprising. Please pray for peace... for Congo, and for us. If you have ever seen the movie Hotel Rwanda or have read anything about the past 20 years of horrendous genocide in this part of Africa, you know how serious this threat is and how quickly this could turn deadly. Other parents in the article talk about how they are taking their children to safety... and that is not something that we can do. I am in tears right now, as this is just so hard for a parent to deal with. Thank you for your intercession on behalf of our daughter and the all of the fatherless ones in Kinshasa, Congo!
Please pass this prayer request on as you see fit.
Love, Jen and Dan Shultz
We too have a daughter in Kinshasa. We're right there with you all in prayer! We cannot let worry overcome us because there is nothing WE can do. The Lord is standing in the gap, holding our children in His arms. I believe He will put a hedge of protection around them. If God is for us, who then can be against us!
