prayer request

I just found out that the 10 year old son of a family I met in Caracas
is in the hospital. They were by far the poorest family I met there,
and they were also the family that "tugged at my heart strings" (to
use a cheesy phrase) more than anything else there. They were the
family that made me feel like it could make sense for us to move
there. Anyway, they have about 8 kids. The youngest is 3 months old,
and the second oldest, named Francisco, is the 10 year old in the
hospital. They're not sure what's wrong yet, but Birgit, the
InnerChange team leader, suspects that it's advanced pancreatic
cancer. Please pray for Francisco and his parents Manuel and Marlene
and the rest of the kids. Also pray for Birgit who has been watching
the rest of the kids (except for the 3 month old) so that the mom can
be at the hospital and the dad can go to work.

Thanks,

Jenny
