Pray for Diana as She Recovers from an Attack by Muslim Extremists

[430] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Diana.

Diana continues to recover from wounds she suffered three years ago when Muslim extremists attacked her church one Sunday morning. She and her husband, Austin, were among 21 worshipers severely wounded in an attack on the Joy in Jesus Pentecostal Church in Mombasa, Kenya. In addition to those wounded, seven people were killed in the attack. Diana underwent multiple surgeries and was left deeply discouraged. VOM workers have helped facilitate medical care and have continued to encourage the family since the attack. Most recently, Diana was disheartened to learn that a scheduled surgery had to be postponed because her surgeon was not available. Please pray for Diana’s continued recovery and for others affected by the attack.
