[edit] Life

• Hurricane Mitch in 1998 left millions destitute.

• The street children. Poverty has led to many living on the streets without a home. In 1998 there were reckoned to be 8,000 in the capital, but this number has grown since Hurricane Mitch. These unfortunate children face being abused, exploited for sex (30% are HIV+) and most suffer from severe malnutrition. Pray for:

1. The several agencies seeking to meet their physical and spiritual needs.

2. Honduran churches to rise to this challenge.

3. The basic causes of poverty, injustice and moral breakdown to be addressed and mitigated.
