A few weeks ago I posted a blog on adoption of children. Read some heart breaking news related to unwanted babies in the link below (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20100917-292845/OFW-group-calls-for-help-for-babys-mother).
This is not an isolated case! This has happened before -- read about another recent case (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1293167/Indian-woman-gives-birth-plane--tries-flush-baby-toilet.html).
Surely many migrants, especially women are vulnerarable to sexual harrashment, sexual abuse, unfortunate heart-breaking relationships with local people or other migrant workers.
As you read the article below, I covet your prayers for the women in the diaspora. The International Organisation for Migration reports that there are an estimated 214 million migrants in the world today; 49% of migrants worldwide are women.
Pray that the many victims of abuses would come to know hope and New Life in Jesus Christ; and that the many faithful Kingdom workers among the diaspora women would introduce many, even their local employers, to the Master of All -- Jesus Christ.
Diaspora Missions is about the Church on the Move taking the Whole Gospel of Christ to the Whole World, even to those people in diaspora.

"Pray that the many victims of abuses would come to know hope and New Life in Jesus Christ; and that the many faithful Kingdom workers among the diaspora women would introduce many, even their local employers, to the Master of All -- Jesus Christ."
Amen. Let it be so, Lord.

@ Pete_Houston:
I am glad to read [and almost hear you say] "Amen. Let it be so Lord." Pete, we often come up with great evangelism ideas! But many of us evangelicals seem to forget the most important in evangelism i.e. Prayer. Someone say: "when man works, he work; but when man prays, God work!" Thank you for your comment.
