Jaren Mikiyas




It breaks my heart that sweet little Jaren Mikiyas, the son referred to Shadley, has passed away just a little bit ago in Ethiopia. Sweet little Jaren was only 3 months old. He was sick with diarrhea and was taken to the doctor and released. Thursday they tried to get him to the hospital but he died on the way. Prayers for Shadley and her family, as they are grieving over the loss of their son.

Prayers that more referrals for these waiting orphaned children will be made soon, so they can get home and receive the health care they so desperately need. Not knowing more details, it's hard to know if Jaren would have survived if receiving care in the US.

Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised.

Job 1:21
