Prayers for the Mwaanga Family

I'd like to ask for prayer for our dear friends, Maxwell & Priscilla. Maxwell is the pastor of Mapanza Baptist Church. We have all been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby, but tragedy occurred on Monday night when Priscilla gave birth to baby Wilcox, only to have him pass away a few short hours later. This family had previously lost their 3 year old daughter, Chibotu, in 2006 to hydrocephaly. Many in the area will assume that this family is "cursed," and I'm sure many traditional "remedies" will be suggested to them. Please lift them up in prayer as they hold fast to Christ. Please pray for big sister Lwiito and big brother Blu as they try to process the loss of their baby brother. Please pray for wisdom for us at New Day to reach out to this family in their grief.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
