Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. - Psalm 9:10

As we start the week, please join us in praying for the country of Zimbabwe:
• “Please pray for our education system in Zimbabwe. We are seeing more and more children dropping out of school. As a result, a lot of young people are now taking hard drugs. Please pray for economic stability that will enable our government to offer free education for all.
• Pray for peace and stability In Zimbabwe.” (Kupa, Regional Support Leader, Zimbabwe)
As you pray, remember the International Offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and the US who serve with Hands at Work to care for the most vulnerable in Africa. Pray for each of the advocates and churches in these countries that partner with Hands at Work. Pray that they will remain steadfast in their calling to serve. Pray that they will be encouraged even in times of difficulty.
