(We are Us[Formerly USPG]) Churches in West Africa call for prayer as Ebola virus spreads

Church leaders in West Africa have asked for our prayers as the Ebola virus continues to spread, with 932 reported deaths as we go to press.

Please make use of the prayer we have written….[Here is one]:

God of our anguish, we cry to you
For all who wrestle with Ebola.
Grant we pray, peace to the afraid,
Your welcome to the dying and
Your comfort to those living with loss.
And, merciful Father,
bless those many loving hands
That bravely offer care and hope.

Read it all.

    Thanks for posting this Kendall.

    Just read a great article from the Charlotte Observer, an interview with Nancy Writebol’s husband David, (who is still in quarantine in Liberia since he was exposed to Ebola). It gives a good perspective on how their faith strengthened them during this crisis.
