Prayer Force Update : Epidemic

Tuesday, March 07, 2006

This update is from the Prayer Force page of the FMI website. Please continue to pray for the region and for the affected Foursquare staff:

An update has just been received regarding the Chikungunya epidemic...
This epidemic, spread when an infected mosquito bites a suspect, now claimed 93 lives. When previously reported only 30,000 inhabitants had been infected. This number has now increased to approximately 186,000 inhabitants, including two field staff. Please continue to pray that:
1. God would completely heal those infected by the disease,
2. That the troops deployed would successfully find and spray each and every breeding area in the nation,
3. The medicine currently in research stage would be developed quickly and provide some cure.
Thank you for praying,
Mike Larkin
V.P. Global Operations and Director of Missions
