PRAYER UPDATES FROM BANGKOK
Prayer:
- The Uzbek mother left the hospital but is not stable enough to get her baby back yet. Pray for wisdom and for courage and strength on her part to do what is needed. Pray for the boyfriend and father of the baby who has no work and struggles to care for them. We have had some good opportunities to minister to him and pray for him.
- Pray for the Russian woman in our care to find peace and healing as she waits to go home. She is asking about baptism.
- Pray for several women who struggle with addictions and need some intervention. Pray for wisdom and openness to accepting help with rehab.
Please pray for discernment, wisdom, and breakthrough in spiritual battles. There have been a lot of spirit manifestations. A lot of women are needing deliverance. Pray their hearts will desire and seek after freedom.

Ms. Dee was an acclaimed actress and author. She graced the stage and screen for more than seventy years. She was the first Black woman to appear in a major role at the American Shakespeare Festival, in Stratford, Connecticut. She made several appearances on Broadway before getting national recognition for her 1950 film, The Jackie Robinson Story.
Ms. Dee was deeply committed to her art and the Civil Rights movement. She paved the way for future Black actors both on and off the screen. She crusaded for civil rights and spoke out against injustice. Tune in as we view life through Ms. Dee’s eyes.
