Compassion-sponsored children have access to education, medical care, nutritious food and knowledge of the love of Jesus. They have been so blessed that many of them pray for their sponsors every day. Yet the children need prayer, too.

The following are prayer requests from the Honduras Country Office about the children, families, church partners and staff in Honduras:

• Please pray for the Lord to intervene in the midst of the recent political unrest. Pray that key leaders will seek the Lord for guidance and that our children will be protected from violence.
• Please pray for the Lord to sustain the health of children, staff and families as the H1N1 virus has been found in Honduras. May He grant Compassion staff and government leaders insight and ability to help prevent the spread of this virus.  
• Pray for children in Honduras who need additional care that their parents cannot give. Please pray their sponsors become a source of encouragement and support for them.
• Pray that Compassion's vocational training programs will instill pride and hope in each child.
