Children of Destiny is pleased to announce:

Turning the Tide!
A Prayer Thrust for Autism Awareness Month
April, 2008

Join us and thousands from around the world as we come together in a unified concert of prayer
to see the tide of autism turned!

Since the early '90s, autism, which was once considered to be a rare disease, exploded within the human population. With each passing year greater numbers of innocent children are diagnosed. The epidemic has grown to a staggering 1 in every 150 births. Today, as you read this, it is conservatively estimated that over 100 children will be diagnosed with autism worldwide

Medical establishments, educational systems, and governmental structures have been overwhelmed as wave after wave of autism diagnoses keep pounding the shores of many nations. But no one is as completely engulfed as the family whose precious child -- or children -- are swept away by autism. They deal not only with the devastating behavioral and social dysfunction, but also with financial, medical, educational, spiritual, and relational issues affecting the whole family.

We at Children of Destiny believe that now is the time to join together in corporate prayer to see the relentless tide of autism turned back once and for all! The Bible says that God "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Ps. 147:3).

Another passage promises that, "the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results" (Jas 5:16). We believe that the power of our prayers are greatly increased as we join corporately to beseech the Lord.

We have put together a calendar giving each day's topic, Scripture references, and a prayer focus for everyone joining us in this thrust.. We encourage those who are praying to use this calendar and to check back to our web site each day in April for a more complete list of Scriptures and detailed prayer points.

For more information, or to view and download the April prayer calendar, please visit www.childrenofdestiny.org/turning_the_tide.asp

We welcome responses to this email!

Please join us as we come together in prayer to turn the tide!

Hi Kassia--I don't mean to hi jack your thread. I don't have an autistic child, but I do have a little boy with down syndrome. I can relate to the need for prayer when one has a special needs child (actually all my kids need prayer, but with Malcolm there are definitely more challenges).

I've always loved the verse from Psalm 147 where God "binds the broken-hearted and heals their wounds". This last year has been especially difficult. Sometimes I'm just at a loss for what to do for him, and yet I'm so glad that he is mine and wouldn't trade him for anything. Having Malcolm has helped me grow in so many ways, but growing can be painful. I'm sure you can relate.

I'm glad you have this kind of support network.

(((hugs)))

hi maggie, {{{HUGS}}} to you!!! i so believe special needs kids have such pure love almost how we were meant to love but its so hard to watch them with their struggles. things that come so easy for us are so hard for them. i always give prayers all special needs children and their families. i love my scouting group b/c all kids have different disabilities but we all get together and enjoy our events just like any other scout.

Thanks Kassia. I just read of few of the verses and they relate so well. I don't have a child with autism either but I do work in spec education and I have had the pleasure of meeting such wonderful children (with all different disabilities). You are a wonderful mom and advocate for your child.
