The Lord is close to the brokenhearted –Psalm
34:18
Kalkidan is a girl who’s mother went through WARs program a
couple of years ago. Kalkidan is only 13 years old. Her mom moved to Arab country to work,
Kalkidan stayed with her uncle. This week an employee notified us that Kalkidan
was living on the streets and that she was pregnant. She came to our office
this Saturday and told us that her father had raped her and the child was his.
Today she met with WAR staff and Rahel took her to her first hospital visit.
Stories like this are not uncommon here, but they are
tragic and awful. We plan on supporting Kalkidan as much as we can as she walks
this journey of pregnancy, trauma, and heartache. Friends, lift her up in
prayer. Pray for her heart, her living situation (right now she is basically homeless), the baby, her financial
needs, and her soul. Pray for the people who will counsel her in the months to
come. My heart aches today but I am thankful that the Lord is sovereign still.
