Crying Out to God: "O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed." Psalm 10:17-18a, ESV

Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of the IMB Prayer Team.

Marwa* is tired. She is a Tihama Yemeni Arab moth-er of many little ones and has just found out that she is pregnant with yet another child. “How am I going to feed this new child? How am I going to clothe him or her? I can’t even take care of the ones that I al-ready have!” She cries out to God. “Please, God, take this child. It would better for this child to die in my womb than to live. There is no hope here in Yemen.” Tihama Yemeni Arabs are oppressed and are living in fear. Please pray that God will hear Marwa’s cries and the cries of other Tihama Yemeni Arabs. Pray that He will allow them to hear and understand the gospel. Ask that believers will seek ways to minister in word and in deed.
