Pray for Widows and Abandoned Children

Wandering the streets and begging for food puts children in danger of those who would exploit them. They may promise children they will take care of them and provide for their needs, but in reality, these unscrupulous people will traffic or abuse them. Widows, on the other hand, may be left at the mercy of family members who mistreat and shun them.

Pray that God safeguards the widows and children who are in these difficult situations. Ask Him to guide compassionate people to assist them and equip GFA missionaries to effectively help them.

Can you imagine wandering the streets alone with only the clothes on your back, not knowing when you will next eat or where you will sleep at night? Or being cut off from society because of an unfortunate event you had no control over? How about feeling utterly alone and unloved? Many abandoned children and widows experience these realities every day.

Pray God comforts those who are in the depths of despair. May He show them His love and pave the way for them to overcome their dire situations.

GFA missionaries pray for opportunities to assist the abandoned children and widows they encounter, and they shower them with Christ’s compassion.

GFA World’s Child Sponsorship Program often enrolls children who are in the neediest situations, such as those who are orphaned or abandoned. They are given access to practical help, such as meals, health care, clothes and educational support! GFA missionaries treat widows with love and kindness and often help them provide for themselves by distributing income-generating gifts like goats or sewing machines. Through the service of GFA missionaries, God changes futures from bleakness to hope.

Pray God will empower and encourage GFA missionaries as they see so many women and children in need. Pray He will help them to rejoice in each life that is now flourishing through His grace.
