Prayer Requests

Prayer Requests [updated 7/12/16]

• For my trip to South Africa and Swaziland with the IO team:
  You can pray for the seven of us as we are preparing for our upcoming trip [August 23-September 4]. Pray that God would open our eyes and prepare our hearts to take in everything He wants us to.
• For all of the Hands at Work family as we respond to the Drought Crisis:
  sub-Saharan Africa is currently in the worst drought of the last 50 years. Pray for our volunteers as we are serving the poorest of the poor, expanding our feeding programs to provide relief through food and water access. Pray that we would be willing to follow where God leads, no matter how difficult the walk seems.
• Renewed energy and focus in the new year for everyone partnering with Hands at Work:
  For international staff living in Africa: these individuals sacrifice time with their families and the comforts of home in order to care for the most vulnerable.
  For international staff living in their home countries: these individuals have often been to Africa, but always have a heart for Africa and it's people. They have the comforts of home, but constantly wish they could be on African soil. They often feel isolated from Africa, living in societies that often do not understand the calling.
• Continual support from current sponsors, and for new sponsors who want to help care for the most vulnerable:
  26,000 children die every day in Africa, and they do not need to. With sponsorships being $20/month, we pray people currently sponsoring one child may find it in their heart to promise additional sponsorships. We also pray for new partners for our cause to sponsor the most vulnerable.
• For the Hands US Staff, Advocates and Family as we work together while being far apart:
  For continued relationships and unity so we can remain strong for our cause when the world is telling to us to do anything and everything but care for the most vulnerable.
