Fed, Healed and Forgiven

We sponsor some children with Compassion Canada, and the LittlePages have always enjoyed writing to their “adopted” brothers and sisters. One young man in particular, young Apilak in Thailand, has always been on the top of their prayer list.

You see, ever since we started helping Apilak a few years back, he has written telling us about his asthma. It stopped him from playing with the other kids, and he was taken for medical care a few times. Whenever we ask for prayer requests, the LittlePages never fail to add healing for Apilak to the list.

Well, we recently got a letter from Apilak. Notice that line tucked innocently in there (click to enlarge):

“My family is fine. The asthma that I have ever had has been completely cured. How are you and your family?”

I read the line a few times when we got the letter to see if it was some bad translation, or if it really meant what I thought it did. This young boy, who has been plagued since we’ve known him with asthma and has little access to medical care or hope of proper treatment… has been healed! Praise God!

I still chuckle when I read how nonchalantly it’s mentioned.

Please sponsor a child. If you already sponsor a child, pray for them. It makes a difference.

Note: The orphanage that I visited in Nicaragua now has child sponsorships as well. We’re planning on adopting a Nicaraguan. Please consider it.
