This February we as a staff team are asking each other and our ministry partners all over the U.S. who love the kids at Casa Hogar Douglas to cover this children's home in prayer all month. I'll be the first to admit that the children's homes we serve here in Monterrey are not all perfect. Each home has it's own list of issues or concerns or reasons to pray- aside from the emotional wounds of the children as a result of being abandoned. God has laid the kids at Douglas on my heart and this is the children's home that I spend the most time at here in Monterrey. Honestly, the more I'm there and the more I know - the more I find to pray for. God loves these kids so I'm asking you to pray through this list this month and beg God to move at this home. I want big and i mean BIG changes at this home. I want the BEST for these kids. Most days, I feel like giving up and just kidnapping all the younger kids (that's about 25 kids) and taking them to live with me in my apartment - but i'm not allowed to do that so it's probably best to try to make where they have to live - the BEST environment possible. Thank you!
Here is the prayer request list that is being sent around:
Thanks friends for joining us in prayer for Casa Hogar Douglas. Just for clarification, Wyman is the man who is the director there. Jim and Betty are the Back2Back staff who are captains of Douglas. Following is specific ways to pray for them:
1. Care givers would be full of the love of Christ.
2. Children of all ages would experience God's Love in this home.
3. Financial needs of the home would be met.
4. Fear and pain would be minimized in the kids' lives.
5. The Holy Spirit would come and fill every dormitory.
6. God would protect this place with a "Band of angels" guarding against all evil.
7. That this home would be a "Shelter" and a "Rufuge" for these children.
8. Wyman would be open and supportive of changes we suggest need to occur.
9. We would find tutoring help for kids that need help in school.
10. God would remove anything or anyone that hinders the spread of His Revolution in this place.
