Day 15 – Pray for Care Workers and Primary Caregivers in Mozambique (#40Days2025)

Day 15 – Pray for Care Workers and Primary Caregivers in Mozambique

In Mozambique, there are 86 Care Workers who have committed to caring for the most vulnerable children. In many communities in Mozambique 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 Chimoio Service Centre invites you to pray for the Care Workers and Primary Caregivers in their region:

• “Pray for the Care Workers and Primary Caregivers, that they don't get tired of caring for the children and that they continue to serve with love.

• Pray for protection and that God may open doors in their lives because many are vulnerable. Pray that God can provide their needs.” – Maria, Service Centre Member (Mozambique)

Day 14 – Pray for Our Communities in Mozambique

Within Mozambique, there are five communities being supported and cared for: Chigodole, Gobogobo, Macadeira, Matsinho A, and Matsinho B.

Today we invite you to pray for the challenges that exist across all communities:

• “One of the biggest challenges we have is that of the children in our communities, girls are married before their time. We start the year with a good number of girls, but the year ends with many married girls. Please pray into this.

• There is challenge of unity, especially in the communities of Macadeira and Gobogobo. Pray for unity.

• Many children are enrolled in school but by the end of the year, many have dropped out. Pray against this spirit of dropping out of school.

• Pray for grandparents and children, that God will continue to protect them and that they will continue to hope in the Lord and that His will and desires will be fulfilled.” – Sandra

Day 13 – Pray for Our Partners (#40Days2025)

Day 13 – Pray for Our Partners

Across the world, Hands at Work has dedicated partners from the International Church, who are committed to seeing the mission and vision of Hands at Work grow and flourish.

Today, we invite you to pray for the partners who are supporting the work in Mozambique:

“We praise you Almighty God for each of our faithful partners across the world, who are steadfastly committed to care for the most vulnerable children in communities across Mozambique. We lift them up to you as they advocate and are a voice for these children who have no voice and we ask for your continued provision. As our partners join Hands at Work to arise and build the wall so that the children will no longer be vulnerable, may you strengthen their hands for this good work as you did in Nehemiah 2:18. We pray for your blessing to be upon them as they serve you in their own communities and may they also care for the most vulnerable around them.” – Rachel McLaughlin, International Office Volunteer (Australia)

Pray that international team members and visitors encounter God’s heart among the vulnerable, encourage the work of the local teams on the ground, and further the goals of the partnership between the local and international Church and stir up momentum to further the partnership.” – Suzette Tay Lee, International Office Volunteer (US)

Pray for the famine that has affected parts of the country due to the drought and the agricultural campaign of the year 2024 that has failed and food is scarce. Pray that God may provide for our country.” – Sandra, Service Centre Coordinator (Mozambique)
