Matt and Sora Colvin ask prayers for the mothers and children of Leyte in the Philippines where November's super-typhoon struck, and especially the town of Dulag where Sora has been serving as a midwife. The malnutrition and health problems have led to many difficult births and neonatal mortality, on top of the tragedies sustained in November. Pray especially for the midwives whose clinics need rebuilding, so that they can resume serving mothers and children in this region.
