Each month we pray for two of our mission partners. During August we are praying for Bex Henderson and all at LOVED (part of the JENGA charity), and for The Swan youth project.
JENGA
Bex requests prayers for LOVED as follows:
- Total healing over all of the children in our various programmes who have malnutrition.
- Prayer for God’s provision for an increase in salaries for our LOVED staff over the new financial year.
- God’s wisdom for the leaders in the government hospital which is overcrowded and understaffed. As a consequence there have been higher death rates in children who have preventable illnesses.
THE SWAN youth project
The Swan youth project in the centre of town provides “somewhere to go, something to do and someone to listen”. They operate a free drop-in service and lots of activities during the Summer for young people aged 11-18.
They ask us to:
- give thanks for the opening of the courtyard space/gardening area and sensory room
- pray for the mental wellbeing of the young people who come to The Swan, especially over the long summer holidays
- pray for the conversations with local businesses to ensure adequate funding for the project.
