Week 4 - The Local Response: Community Ownership

A core value of Hands at Work is being committed to local community ownership. Transformation in the communities we serve is dependent upon God revealing local people who are willing to serve their community through sacrificial giving and compassionate relationships.

On Sundays, we pause to anticipate the coming of Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Hands at Work is dependent upon God to send us local African leaders to lead the way in caring for the most vulnerable children.

Remember Innocent and his story today as you pray for the nation of Zambia where 1,200,000 children have been orphaned. Pray for the volunteer Care Workers in Zambia who are daily striving to visit children like Innocent in their homes.

But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God’s grace – Acts 20:24 (NRSV)

Week 3 - The Local Response: The Church

Hands at Work envisions the local church in Africa effectively caring for the most vulnerable. This week, we pray for the local church to answer God’s call to respond to the cry of the poor.
