ISRAEL is a very special boy who is one of our leaders at Maison de Lumiere. Badly burned in a kitchen fire as a baby, Israel's face is severely scared from third degree burns. He hopes one day to visit the US to have plastic surgery; this has been a dream all his life. An excellent and committed student, he studies hard and wants to one day become a successful businessman. Israel loves sports – soccer being his favorite. Israel is also a devout worshipper and prayer warrior, and is known for his passionate prayers and heart for the Lord. Please pray that Israel may one day be able to go to the US for plastic surgery and that his faith will continue to grow and blossom.
PHARA is Patrick's sister, one of the residents at the boy's home. Since she was very young, she lived with and helped her invalid, crippled mother. She would run to the market, carry things for her, and help her out around the house. There was not a lot of time to be a kid, and this was difficult for her. She tried to attend school at one point, but got an eye disease and had to quit school. Her mother asked that Phara be admitted to the home to give her a chance for a better life. Phara's older sister and another brother now care for their mother. She is a very sweet girl who loves her new life at the girl's home. She loves school and all her new friends at the orphanage. Please pray that Phara will grow in her new faith, and in her love for and knowledge of Jesus.
