And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. - Colossians 3:17
With a limited number of schools and teachers in Nigeria, schools are often overcrowded, leaving teachers with limited capacity to provide one-on-one care for their students. In some families, boys attending school is seen as a greater priority than girls, while in others, children are forced to work and help provide for the family instead of attending school. Pray for the local Hands at Work team in Lagos as they speak into these situations, that they will have wisdom and a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
One way that the Lagos team have been investing into the youth in their communities is by involving them in building projects when the need arises. Having this time with the youth teaches them basic life skills like carpentry, and also gives the Lagos team the opportunity to have a Bible study with them. Pray for the Lagos team to have wisdom and discernment as they build into the youth, both practically and spiritually.
