“Don’t be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name, and you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burnt … because I, the LORD, am your God.” Isaiah 43:1-3 (NCV)
The Bible’s life words always contain the seeds of hope, of possibility, and change. This week, join us in prayer for our Transform initiatives, which seek to bring hope, healing and restoration to communities-in-need around the world.
- Next year, we will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of Pavement Project. In the last decade, Pavement Project’s unique counselling process has held out the promise of hope to thousands of street children all over the world. Pray for the Pavement Project staff team: Clenir, Luciana, Carmen, Cleide, Serah, Jo, and Clara. Praise God for their commitment and dedication to the programme. Pray that as they work to encourage Pavement Project workers in all regions, they will know encouragement themselves.
- When we consider the plight of the world’s 100 million street children, the sheer numbers involved can leave us fazed. Give thanks that God knows the name and story of every street child in every country of the world. Pray that through Pavement Project, many more children will find hope in the God who calls them by name, and who will be with them in every situation, however difficult or dangerous their circumstances.
- Give thanks for the success of the Worker Training Workshops recently hosted by Pavement Project staff in Kisumu, Kenya. Please pray for the impact that these new counsellors will have as they come alongside the children in their local communities. Pray that their hearts would be full of love, kindness and patience as they to seek to share the Bible’s life-changing words with those around them.
