Dear All,

We have a special prayer request concerning the children at the Lighthouse Children's Home.

It has come to our attention that the children are being targeted for abuse (both physical and emotional) by the teachers at their school. This was brought to our attention by the older brothers and sisters of other children at the school where our children have been going for the past 2 ½ years. One of our boys was beaten on the head by a teacher hard enough to break the 1” thick stick. We are not sure “why” this is happening, but we cannot allow it to continue.

In the morning we have a meeting with the owner of the school and another meeting with the headmistress of another school here in town. Please pray for us as we attempt to come to a conclusion.

In His Service,

Patrick and Sherry
