Prayer Room
Pray for the grandmothers of Africa today. Many are tired and overwhelmed by their burdens, often taking on the task of caring for their children`s orphaned children. Pray especially that God will be their strength and security. Pray that “though outwardly they are wasting away, inwardly they are being renewed day by day” - 2 Corinthians 4:16
Today, ask God to teach Hands at Work how we can be a healing community in Africa and around the world. Pray He will lead us in bringing healing to other communities, visitors, and volunteers. Ask God to show you what you can do, yourself, to bring healing to our community. Pray He will mould you into a servant who is an example of Jesus.

Today, pray the church outside Africa will embrace God’s mandate to care for the poorest of the poor. Ask God to echo his call for justice throughout churches around the world, challenging the hearts of congregations and church leadership. Ask Him to remind us all that His word says true worship is, “to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them” – Isaiah 58:7
Pray for those who have been broken physically, psychologically or sexually abused in Africa; that they may be given an opportunity to heal. Ask God to restore their souls in a way that only He can.
I am going to bring it recovery and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security - Jeremiah 33:6
