Day 21 - Pray for Care Workers and Primary Caregivers in the Democratic Republic of Congo
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, there are 128 Care Workers who have committed to caring for the most vulnerable children. In many communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and across Africa, the Care Workers are also the Primary Caregivers of the children they serve.
A Primary Caregiver is the mother, father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings or other relatives who live with the children coming to the Care Point. The Goma and Likasi Service Centers* invite you to pray for the Care Workers and Primary Caregivers in their region:
• “Pray for those who do farming. Pray for good rains - many people can’t afford to get fertilisers but may God provide good rains for so they can provide for their families.
• Pray for good health and strength as each day they have to do something so they can provide for their families. Unless they have good health, they can’t do it otherwise. It’s tough for them and it has an impact on the rest of the family.
• Pray for the Care Workers and Primary Caregivers to base their lives on the true foundation of Christ. Pray that they live it out in their daily lives and their relationships with others.” - Angel, Service Centre Coordinator (DRC) sharing on behalf of the Likasi Service Centre*.
• “Many of the Primary Caregivers and Care Workers have experienced lots of trauma. As they return to their communities, pray that the Lord will keep them through this season of different changes.” – Bahati, Service Centre* Member (DRC) sharing on behalf of the Goma Service Centre*.
