DAY #32 - MAKHOLWENI CAREPOINT
The word "makholweni" means “the place of the Christians” and this area is named Makholweni because of the numerous churches located around it. Unfortunately, due to the large number of children and apathy among most of the local churches, the many fatherless children are left out. Makholweni is outside of the city limits so it doesn’t have access to many of the utilities and development of the city. Pray that as the children come to the CarePoint in Makholweni they not only find their physical needs met, but that they find the love of Jesus and the hope He gives. Pray that from this and other CarePoints will come leaders and world-changers - fully-devoted servants of Jesus Christ.
Let's pray together for the kids at the Makholweni CarePoint:
- Jesus, we ask You today to touch the children in the Makholweni area. Those who have been "left out" of the attention of the local church - we know they have never been left out of Your thoughts. Each child in this area is a child that You died for - just as You did for us. They are precious in Your sight.
Lord, we ask for You to provide for them, to show them Your extravagant love and Your outrageous grace. Let these kids not only be rescued from the debilitating poverty many of them face daily, but also let them rise up and become leaders in their community - the kind of leaders who will spark revival in their part of the world. Change their world by changing them. And let the whole world see it and may many others be inspired to turn to You.
Let Your extravagant love and outrageous grace turn this community upside-down. And be glorified in doing so. It's about You. And it's about the children.
It's about Your children.
