40 Days of Prayer - Day 27

Hands at Work
March 18, 2013
Nigeria has 150 million people, most living in slums.  Today, pray for the orphans living in these slums, many of whom are unable to go to school because they are forced to work.  Thank God for those children we have found and been able to provide care for, and ask Him to reveal more children to us and provide the resources to care for them.

“This photo is of Josefa* from Pfunani Community, #SouthAfrica. We were doing an appreciation day for the Care Workers and because there was an additional workbook left over, I gave it to Josefa and asked him to write his name on the heart. The booklet was based on Ephesians 3:18 and when I explained that it said ‘God loves Josefa,’ he gave me a huge, beautiful smile.” ⠀ ⠀ - Jenny Wood, Member of Hands at Work #Australia ⠀ ⠀ #Scripture #Pray

There has been lots of growth in #Swaziland over the last few months. A second Care Point in Msengeni Community - known as Msengeni B - started at the beginning of October. This allows the children from the further side of the community to have a Care Point in their own area, limiting the long distances that they have to walk. There are six #CareWorkers serving the children. They have shown great initiative and passion in serving the most vulnerable in their community. #ServingTheMostVulnerable '

Baraka Community, #Zambia ⠀ ⠀ Eight-year-old Tamara* and her two sisters were taken in by their grandmother four years ago. In 2016, local Care Workers identified them as amongst the most vulnerable in their community and began visiting them in their home. The girls were malnourished and their grandmother was struggling to care for their needs. The girls began to attend the Care Point, but struggled to interact with the other children. Judith, their #CareWorker continues to encourage them on a daily basis and has seen improvement in their physical and emotional health over the past year.⠀ ⠀ #ServingTheMostVulnerable

⠀ Jeffery and Patricia Muntaka, pastors from Apostolic Faith Mission church, Mutare, have played a pivotal role in caring for the most vulnerable in #Zimbabwe. Farai Gunhe, Regional Support Team Leader, Zimbabwe shares about the journey that they have been on together: ⠀ ⠀ “They have made it personal. They donate clothing to our children and grandmothers as well as taking it upon themselves to use their personal resources to help not only the children but in one case a very sick grandmother. They have shared the vision of Hands at Work with other church leaders within their community. I feel like this is only the beginning. We need to build on this and continue to encourage and challenge other churches."⠀ ⠀ #ServingTheMostVulnerable

At the beginning of the week, 50 of the most vulnerable children in Houtbos Community began receiving a hot and nutritious meal daily, access to education and access to basic health care. Praise God! ⠀ ⠀ The Oshoek Local Office who support this community has specifically asked for prayer for the following: ⠀ ⠀ "As many of the Care Workers are vulnerable themselves, pray for God to provide for their needs; giving them the strength and courage that they need to persevere in tough circumstances. Pray for the children to see the Care Point as a place where they can find not just food but also love and hope in the midst of darkness. Ask God to give us the wisdom and energy that we need to support the community well."⠀ ⠀ #ServingTheMostVulnerable #Pray

"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish." ⠀ - Matthew 18: 12-14⠀ ⠀ #Scripture #Pray
