FROM jaajh
I live in Mali in West Africa (been here 15 years) and am married to a Malian. We have 3 kids (6, 10 and 12). On 22 March 2012 there was a coup d'état in our country. There has also been a rebellion going on in the north since mid-January. However, our area has been calm throughout, so we stayed. However, the situation here is serously deteriorating so we will try to evacuate out tomorrow. We are driving across the border to Burkina Faso (about 2 hours from here) and we pray they will let us pass. (Borders are closed to commercial traffic (ECOWAS sanctions) - unclear if open to cars/people leaving.)
PLEASE pray for a safe trip for us and that God would guide as re what to do after this!
It is so VERY hard to be leaving like this.
This is such a brief summary of a very complicated situation, but I just wanted to get a prayer request sent out. Mali needs your prayers! We, as a family, really need your prayers tomorrow too.
THANK YOU!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6
Lord I lift Mallan and family up to you in this time of uncertainty and pray for wisdom, peace and protection and heavenly guidance; that you will direct their path. In Jesus name I pray amen.0 -
Our God is an awesome God and His mercies indureth forever.
Lord have mercy on this family and all the people who are seeking refuge, guide their paths show favor on them and protect them evil. You are our refuge let this family have peace in knowing you are their provider and protector. Make a way for them when they feel there is no way.0
