DAY #31 - MONENI CAREPOINT
In Siswati, the local language of Swaziland, "moneni" means “place of jealousy.” This community is the home of several very powerful traditional leaders for this part of the country. Many children are left on their own here while the single parent tries to find work. Many of our children at this CarePoint are extremely creative and come up with some very inspiring plays. They have even performed their skits at several government functions. Please pray that the children of the Moneni CarePoint will continue to encounter Jesus Christ in very real ways. Pray that they will spread the love they have received from Him to their parents and other children in the community.
Today we're honored and blessed to have Rob Ketterling, a long-time friend of Children's Cup and pastor of River Valley Church in Minnesota, leading us in prayer for the Moneni CarePoint.
- Father God,
We pray for the Moneni Carepoint in Swaziland. We're asking for You to continue to bless all of the children and staff at this CarePoint and that they would continue to experience You in so many real ways. As their name means "place of jealousy" I pray that they would become a place that others want to be like and that they could lead the way. May they use the creative gifts that You have given them to be leaders and to make inroads into places they have never been before. May others see the joy and the hope that they have and be filled with a desire to have what they have.
As these children experience Your love may they pass it on and live in the abundance that there is no limit to Your love and that they will multiply it for others to share in it. May their friends and families be touched by You and I pray that this CarePoint would reach many people with the love of Jesus. Continue to bless all those that labor there and may they be refreshed and recharged as they serve You by loving the least of these.
I ask for favor on their CarePoint and for You to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think. Let their creativity lead the way as they follow You. Bring miracles and blessing to them in Jesus' name.
Amen.
Thanks for praying with us today! Only 9 more days in Forty Days of Prayer for the Children - press in hard during these last remaining days and ask God to do the impossible. He is able.
