NOMOFILI, NTOMBOXOLO, AND PHINDILE...

The following are three amazing young women who could really use our prayers right now.



Nomofili is a strong 16 year-old who has been heading a household of orphans, including her sisters, ever since their father died in May. Her extended family have asked Nomofili and her sisters to visit them in the Eastern Cape over the Christmas holiday. The girls don't trust these relatives and are really scared to go. They fear that their relatives will keep them there and force them to drop out of school and work on the farm. Please join us in prayer for them.






Pray for Ntomboxolo (Nono) who is a real leader among the kids in the orphan support group. She has such a sweet heart and has faced many trials as her mother abandoned her, her grandmother who was raising her died, and her father became consumed with his alcoholism. This week her sister started to lose her battle against HIV/AIDS and has been hospitalized. This is a crushing blow to Nono and she needs our prayers along with her sister.



Phindile is another young leader who ministers not only to other orphans, but also to adults in church who are suffering. Her Aunt, who was the breadwinner of the family, got pneumonia (she had AIDS) two weeks ago and died on Sunday. Her death left Phindile's cousins (twin 6-year-old girls) orphaned and now their grandmother is forced to raise 5 children on her pension of $114 per month. The twin girls came to the orphan support group for the first time this Friday, just days after the death of their mother. Please pray for them as they grieve and as they support one another through this difficult time.
