Day 12 – Care Workers
‘If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.’ – Isaiah 58:10
Thank God for our Care Workers and their commitment to serving the most vulnerable children, especially when faced with persecution and negativity from people around them who don’t understand their calling. Ask God to bring encouragement, strength, boldness and unity amongst the Care Workers as they serve the children. Ask God to speak truth and life into the lives of more men and women from the local church, that they will recognise their responsibility to serve. Pray for Hands at Work to have wisdom as we try to help our Care Workers improve their capacity to provide for their own families.
“I felt a calling to serve the other children in my community. Seeing my own situation with a child, I wanted to be able to give back in some way and serve others.” – Rhoda is a Care Worker in Racecourse Community, Zambia
“I love working with children. I feel encouraged spiritually when I am with the other Care Workers.” - Victoria is a Care Worker in Amlew Community, Zambia
Today, we encourage you to think about and pray for the Care Workers across Africa who you know by name.
