Our staff takes turns covering for our houseparents whenever they have their days off, so we get a regularly rotated evening duty in the homes two or three times a month. We spend a lot of time with the kids during the days and on the weekends, but the evening duties gives us the chance to spend a little extra special time with the kids in a more relaxing setting. Maybe it's an evening of games, or perhaps a movie shown outside with the projector and screen. Whatever the evening's activities, we get to end the evening with a prayer time with the kids. Each of our staff may do bedtime prayers differently with the kids in each of the homes, but we all probably spend time talking about different prayer needs or requests.
The prayer requests can vary greatly, but here is a sample of tonight's requests: Ginda - who is in the hospital; Jacob, Danielle, Rowena, and Rustina - who are sick and in isolation at CSC; Teacher Michelle - that she would be safe while now back in MN (I'm not sure why she would be unsafe!); that they would all have adoptive families; thanks for all of the aunties and houseparents who take care of them; for safe travel for the Healys when they leave soon for furlough; that God would provide CSC with enough money during this time when donations are low; for all of the supporters and friends who give their money to CSC.
The last request is one that has been consistent for many, many years. Our kids never forget to pray regularly for the people who make CSC's ministry possible, people who they mostly do not even know. While CSC has different avenues for our supporters and friends to pray for our kids like the FrontLine prayer letter, website, and word of mouth, our kids will always pray for CSC's supporters and friends without prompting.
It's important to know. Our kids are praying for you.
