Omar

Many of you have been praying for Omar, a little boy who came to Casa Shalom a couple of months ago. Omar was hit by a car more than a year ago. His arm was left untreated and healed improperly resulting in very limited use and disfigurement. A missions team of surgeons visiting Guatemala this week are scheduled to perform surgery to repair his arm. Today we received word that they may not have time to perform his surgery. Please pray that Omar can still be included in their surgery rotation. This surgery would be life changing for this child!
