Please pray for Saphira...

Listen in as Luke Gudeman, Lifesong Zambia missionary, shares the story of Saphira,

Two months ago, Saphira, a 31 yr old widow and one of our farm employees, asked for a salary advance.  I usually don’t like this (people asking for salary advances) but this time was different.  Instead of needing money because she misspent her previous salary, she wanted transport money to bring 3 of her relatives’ children to come live with her.  ‘WOW, that’s great,’ I said to her, amazed at how she desired to help others. God had blessed her with an income and now she was using it to bless these disadvantaged children.  An income of $80/month and she is going to change the lives of 3 children.

Two weeks ago Saphira’s 6 month old baby died from asthma/malaria.  It was and is so hard for her and for the farm and school staff.  Just when things were starting to look sunny…this is tough.  Please pray for Saphira as she recovers.  Pray that this can bring the farm staff closer together and that God can use this for his glory.  Also, pray for Saphira’s heart that she can continue to bless others with what she has.
