Day of Prayer and Fasting November 19th

The Ebola death toll quickly approaches 5,000 souls in West Africa. Prayer is essential — Christian workers, volunteers and many who do not know Jesus come in contact with this virus daily.

P R A Y
Every time you wash your hands or shake hands, think of those who are not allowed to be touched because of Ebola. Ask God to relieve their suffering and provide critical care for their needs.
Pray for the epidemic to be stopped in its tracks.
Pray for orphans who have lost parents, homes, belongings and extended family.
Pray for Ebola survivors – many are now ostracized by their communities.
Praise God that people are opening their hearts to the Gospel for the first time because of Christian workers who have stayed and are sharing in Guinea and beyond.
Prayerfully consider not cancelling mission trips to parts of Africa that are unaffected by the virus. Many countries are, in fact, thousands of miles from any cases of Ebola.
Ask God how He wants to use you in the midst of this crisis to make His Name known.

Fast for one or more meals. During the time you would spend eating, pray and get involved:
• donate to Ebola response projects in Liberia and Togo.
• write a letter to an Ebola survivor in Liberia.
• find out if members of your church’s people group have emigrated to the U.S. or Europe, and plan a mission trip there instead.
