DAY #21 - ZIMBABWE
It is here that Children’s Cup began operations in southern Africa. Today, the nation is being ravaged by political, economic and social unrest, serving to compound the overwhelming crisis brought on by AIDS. Specifically, we are praying for Tongogara and Chambuta - two primary schools where much of our work in Zimbabwe has been focused. Also, pray for our friends and family living in Zimbabwe, many of whom risk their lives daily to continue the work of the ministry there. Finally, pray for an end to the unrest and for God to keep the doors open for Children’s Cup to continue to provide help to the hurting people of Zimbabwe.
It is a huge honor to have Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church and author of In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day, lead us in prayer today.
- Lord,
You are the One who begins good works. And You are the One who carries them to completion. Thank you for what You have started in Zimbabwe with the Children's Cup. May this good work have a ripple effect across the country and continent of Africa.
I pray specifically for the two schools in Tongograra and Chambuta. Lord, anoint the teachers. Give them supernatural strength and divine wisdom. And bless the children. May they grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and with man. I pray that they would grow up to become country changers and history makers. Give them vision beyond their years.
Lord, put a hedge of protection around your servants. Let them find favor. Open doors of opportunity beyond human ability for your glory and honor.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
