Pray for Ali

I found about about Ali through the Preemptive Love Coalition a "grass roots" organization which facilitates the life-saving heart surgeries for Iraqi children (the medical facilities do not exist in Iraq, so these kids have to be sent to other countries like Israel and Turkey to receive the surgery). It has challenged me to know that the heart surgery that Whit so easily received here in the States is completely out of reach for most Iraqi kids, many of whom suffer from the exact same condition as Whit (Tetralogy of Fallot).

Ali is from Jordan, but for the past year, he and his father have been in Israel receiving medical treatment. Recently, doctors have declared that they have done all they can for him, and his father has decided to take him home to his family. Read about Ali and pray for this precious child of God.
