Please Pray...

For over a year many of you have been praying for Daniel Simon. He is the boy in our care who has many emotional and behavioral problems that participated in "Casa Daniel", the special therapy home for the past year. You have heard wonderful reports of how God changed his attitude and behavior over the past year and we were blessed to bring him back into Casa Nadia at the end of the summer. Now we need your prayers lifted up for him once again...


Since Daniel has come back to Casa Nadia his behavior and attitudes have regressed to the point of being worse than before. We have put him back on medication that should help him control his behaviors, but the fact that he is older now, bigger and entering puberty have all played a factor in working to find the right balance. Pray that his aggression and other negative behaviors will subside. Dr. Purvis told us to expect a severe regression like this before he is able to rebound back.

Please pray that God will work in Daniel in a new way. That he will be able to regulate his behaviors and not try to make others fearful. Please pray for a heart change in him that he will want to change and be able to stay in Casa Nadia and live with his brother and other children.


Please pray for this amazing staff of moms, educators, psychologist, house director and others who need patience, wisdom and endurance as we try to work through this situation. Pray for their safety and for them to be able to watch and care for Daniel and at the same time meet the needs of the other children in the house. Pray for the other children in the house as they are fearful and unsettled during this time. Also, pray for the leadership of Livada as we monitor the situation and will have to make some decisions about Daniel's future in coming weeks.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and love for all the kids in Livada's care.
