Our Friend Michael

Many of you may know that our friend, and the director of the charity we now work with, Michael Seelig is seriously ill in hospital. His Kidneys have stopped working. He is undergoing Dialysis to try and restart the kidneys and will have a biopsy to see if they can see what is happening. This is a hard time for the Seelig family. Gabriella, his wife, has had Chikungunya virus recently and not had great health. The Charity is due to start signing contracts and begin taking in children in the next few weeks. Please pray that Michael completely recovers from this. Please pray that his family will be at peace. Please pray for all the practical things that Michael is overseeing as the director of the charity. Please pray for strength that we would be able to support the family, continue with everything that needs doing and not feel overwhelmed by this situation. Thank you.
