”For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight.“ - Psalm72:12-14
When Xolani was asked, “If you could ask people to pray for one thing in your country, what would it be?” he shared, “Pray for our Primary Caregivers – they carry much pain and brokenness. Some have started drinking, which can put the lives of the children that we are caring for at risk. Pray for healing; many have been abandoned and have been left with young children to care for and they are struggling. The need is huge.
This year, as we go deeper into what it means to care for our Primary Caregivers, I will invite people to pray for us for wisdom. Pray for the Primary Caregivers as Relationship Groups take shape, as we spend time in their homes and bring Jesus. Pray for the word to set in and for them to find freedom. Pray for the Care Points to become a place of life for them where they can come and be served. Pray that they will get more involved and take full ownership of the work happening in their community and in the lives of their children. Pray that they will experience Jesus.” (Xolani, Zambian Regional Support Team Leader)
