The cold weather has brought with it the flu and a variety of viruses, some minor and some major. In the past couple of weeks, there have been a number of cases of people who caught the H1N1 virus and already a few deaths have been reported. Thousands of people are being treated for the flu – children, the elderly and pregnant women being the most susceptible. We just ask that you cover in prayer those who are already fighting the flu/cold season and especially those with more serious conditions in the hospital. Please pray for health and strength during these winter months in Israel.
