We just got word that there are 4 more women who are pregnant with mingi children, and in the past we have found that these cases of mingi are the hardest to convince the families not to kill the children. Lale has arranged a meeting with the elders to see if they are willing to make an official ruling on these children’s lives but he is not sure if they will go with it. We are praying that the families fall in love with the unborn children and that God speaks to them about their lives, we are doing everything we can to be ready to get out to the different villages in a hurry once the children are born. Lale says that all of them are more than 7 months pregnant.
We will let you know when we know more but for now please pray that things work out.

We are praying Malachi 4:6, that “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children.” And Psalm 103:13 that the fathers will have compassion on their children as the Lord has intended it to be. Praying that hearts will be changed and lives will be saved!

I will be praying. Out of curiosity, b/c I am a very analytical person, how do they decide before a child is born that it is “mingi”? I can see how a behavior or strange occurrence could cause a ruling of mingi, but how is it decided before birth? I am trying to better understand the culture so I can pray better.
Thanks,
Dawn

question: someone may have addressed this in past posts, but I was wondering how these women know (or why do they believe) the unborn babies are “mingi”?
praying!!

Dawn and Tanya,
Please see the post from last week titled “Answers” for a description of the three ways that a child can be labeled Mingi. Two of them apply to unborn children.

Thank you so much, Levi. I don’t know how I missed that post. I always read the posts, but somehow that one slipped by. Now I understand better.
