Yesterday, in the mountainous region of Katembe where Hands at Work established a Life Centre in 2021 and where we are caring for 100 orphaned and vulnerable children, violence spread so close to the village that people were forced to flee on foot for their lives. Grandmothers and children are scattered down the mountain and Hands at Work are desperately searching for those who will not survive without support and care.
Please pray for the community of Katembe, for our children and their Care Givers including the very elderly and sick. Pray for our local team on the ground to locate those who had to flee. Pray for peace to reign in and around Katembe.

Please pray for peace and stability in the region, the protection of the most vulnerable who are caught in the crossfire, and the hearts of those engaged in the conflict to be opened to the saving grace of Jesus.
