"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)
Yesterday I received the news that on Thursday Rachida past from this world to the next. Thank you to all of you who have faithfully walked this journey with us over the past two years. And even though Rachida’s life on Earth is finished, it is only one more chapter coming to a close in the lives of her family and friends. So please continue to pray for her family: her mom Awa and grandma Kadi who have both heard the gospel but aren’t quite sure they want to give everything up for it yet; her dad Aziz who also doesn’t believe; and for her great-aunt Fatoumata who is the only believer in the extended family. Thank you for your love and support.
Praying that the God of all comfort will draw this dear family to Himself!
Little Rachida is in heaven. I believe she is paving the way for her mom and the rest of her family. I pray that great aunt Fatoumata’s prayers and others added come to fruition for I know our God cares so much more than we and does what is best in answer to our prayers. If you have opportunity please tell Rachida’s mom my heart is so sad for her loss. We have two daughters who went to heaven at a young age too. I pray she will trust in Jesus for salvation and new life and then she will KNOW for sure she will someday be with Him and her precious little one again. I pray for all of you who personally know and love this little one and care for her family that God’s comfort will surround you all. Love Sharlee
Oh Susie, it’s so sad to get this news but our Great God loves the little children.
