Marjun's Great Tragedy

PRAYER REQUEST: Over the weekend, we heard from people in the community that one of our precious little boys, Marjun, had suffered a tragedy. Tonight, we have been able to confirm his mother and step-father were shot and killed outside of their home early Saturday morning. Marjun and his siblings were in the house at the time of the shooting; however, they were not physically harmed. Even though they do not have any physical wounds the emotional wounds the children have run very deep. Gepher will be visiting the tribe tomorrow to see how Marjun is (along with his grandmother and uncle, which we also support through Hope for Tomorrow) and determine the best way we can help this sweet little boy and his family. Please join us in a prayer of comfort for Marjun as he has now lost both of his parents tragically and for us as we determine the best ways to minister to this family and community



Gepher met with Marjun's uncles today at the wake to learn more details of the tragedy. It seems Marjun was a witness to this horrific crime. For this reason, his grandmother is currently staying with him in the city of Cebu. We do not know his exact location in the city; however, we do know that DSWD (child protective services) are involved and helping him get the assistance he... needs. We believe God has put him in our ministry for this very reason...for us to be able to help him and his family overcome and heal from this tragedy. Please continue to pray for Marjun, his two younger brothers, and one younger sister as they begin to heal the very deep emotional wounds. Pray that God can show us the best way to minister to this special little boy and get him the help he needs. Thank you for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support.
