(All) Lord God our healer, we pray that medical workers will be kept
safe and free from the virus.
(Leader): Father, we pray for the people of West Africa who are living in fear
and distress because of the Ebola outbreak. We pray that effective prevention
measures will be put in place, and ask that medical supplies and hygiene kits
will reach those most in need. We pray also for protection of Tearfund partner
staff and other aid workers in the area.

people struck down by Ebola, and stop this deadly virus from
causing more suffering and death. Amen.
