Against a background of nearly forty years of internal conflict and political strife, the children of Columbia live with the continual threat of forced abductions, intimidation and exploitation. This week, join us in prayer for the Pavement Project workers seeking to speak words of hope, healing and new beginnings into their lives.
- Carmen Andrade, Pavement Project coordinator for Columbia, writes: “I want to thank you very much for all the prayers and support you have been giving on behalf of Columbia. We feel God’s hand upon us every single day.” Please pray for Carmen as she seeks to train and encourage Columbia’s team of Pavement Project workers. Pray that as she hears their testimonies, deals with their concerns, and affirms them in the work they are doing, she will know God’s encouragement, wisdom and peace.
- A Pavement Project training session is taking place in Columbia this week. Pray for all those involved in running this week-long course, and pray for all those street workers who will be encountering the Picture Me process for the first time. Pray that throughout the week, they will feel affirmed and encouraged in their calling to work with children-at-risk.
- Give thanks for the impact Pavement Project is already having in Columbia. 200 children were counselled through the programme this year; given the opportunity to share their stories, and to recognise God’s love and concern for them. Pray that as more workers are trained, they will recognise and be excited by the potential to be agents of transformation in the lives of the children they encounter.
wonderful project and so good to see people prepared to be salt and light in the most difficult situations, my prayers are with them. just one little point the name is Colombia – Columbia is in the USA
