Prayer Priorities – January 18, 2022
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them.â€
Isaiah 58v6-7
We encourage everyone who is praying for UMN not only to raise our requests but to listen to God on UMN’s behalf. Please take time to read this Bible verse slowly to yourself. Pause and ask God to speak through His Word. Then read it slowly again. Settle and calm your mind before you pray.
Praise
- The new oxygen plant has been installed and is running in Okhaldhunga Hospital. We are grateful to God and the Donor. We are sure it will help us in saving lives.
- Praise God for His motivation and guidance to our teams and partners working in remote communities in these trying times
Prayer
- From the National news we know that the Omicron variant is spreading quickly. Much more personally we have seen this within UMN. Five of the Leadership Team members and other staff along with their family members have been sick. In addition to Kathmandu level we know of colleagues in a number of Cluster Teams who have tested positive, and most teams are reporting rapid spread in their areas. Please pray for all of these and for safety and protection in work.
- Last week we asked prayer for our colleague Rabbi. He has now gone through a major abdominal surgery for Cancer, please pray for recovery and follow up treatment and remember his family as they take care of him.
- In Tansen Mission Hospital COVID numbers are increasing and one or two staff are being infected each day, confirming community spread. Please pray for safety.
- The hospital is a vaccination centre once more, pray for the nurses running this work.
- Continue to pray for timely health insurance board reimbursement (The Hospital has still only received one advance for this year’s work)
- Biomedical Engineer Otto Ardeby’s father died last Wednesday, pray for the family as they grieve.
