Please pray for my daughter Hannah, 3 months old, was born with epilepsy. Within 24 hours of her birth, we were admitted to the hospital for an emergency stay that lasted from May 5 to May 31. She had to be in the NICU for an entire month. I could only see her even briefly, and I was only called outside to take her blood for lab tests. That was deeply painful for me as a father.
Just 21 days after being discharged, we had to return to the hospital for another 3 days in June. Then, 42 days after that discharge, she suffered another seizure and is now back in the hospital, and now we're in the hospital. She is incredibly beautiful and adorable, she doesn't look like she would have been this kind of disease. I don't understand why with this innocent baby has to suffer too much. I cried so much today.
I am a missionary pastor and have been serving God since receiving His call in 2009. After Bible studies in 2014, I entered full-time ministry. Since the military coup in our country in 2021, life has become much harder. In early 2025, the military began arresting young people aged 18–35 to join military service in our rental area. We were at great risk and tried to relocate to a safer place. Unable to find a rental, we purchased a small piece of land with a loan, going into debt of about $4,000. We built a simple bamboo home for our family, our four orphans, and for our home church.
We had hoped to joyfully continue serving the Lord, but then this sudden crisis struck with our baby’s serious health condition. We have spent so much on medical bills, check-ups, and hospital admissions that we cannot even feed our four orphans properly. We skip breakfast most days and cannot buy them what is necessity.
I often ask myself why this is happening to us. It drains me every day. My wife and I are exhausted, sleepless night, and alot tensions for what we would eat with the children tomorrow as we are not a stable ministry.
The translation work I used to rely on for income has not been available this year. Life feels uncertain, and I don’t know how to move forward or how to care for the children. We urgently need your prayers for a miracle, for healing, for provision, and for strength to endure.
It looks like a dream for me. I wish I am dreaming it.
