Dengue!

Delhi is facing a Dengue Fever outbreak. This time last year, there were 4 reported cases of Dengue. This year, so far, there are 674 reported cases of Dengue. Dengue is a mosquito-born virus that is sometimes called "bone-break fever." It has rained more this month in Delhi than it has in the last 15 years! All of that extra water is making a lot of puddles and making many breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Please pray for the the people of Delhi during this time. Please pray that the outbreak of dengue will be squelched. Pray that the Christians of Delhi would find ways to help those that get dengue and show them the love of Jesus.
