Pray for the Lord to provide workers
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.” Psalm 82:3
By Michelle Essex, RR Executive Director
God’s Word calls on believers to defend the cause of vulnerable orphans. Rescuing children, building and supporting families, and advocating for children require dedicated people who care deeply and will not give up.
Recently, Romania Reborn rescued two brothers from a dangerous home. Suffering neglect, these boys have been vulnerable and marginalized their whole lives. They showed up at school looking dirty and disheveled in old, worn-out clothing. They were bullied and mistreated. Without the care and encouragement of parents, they fell behind and they could not do their homework.
Though newly settled in a family, every day is still a battle as the boys form new habits and get ready for school. But now they attend school in new clothes, neatly groomed, with homework in hand. One classmate did not recognize the older boy and asked, “Daniel, is that you? You look really nice.” These boys have a long road of recovery ahead, but they are no longer destitute. They are loved.
All across the globe there are children who desperately need people to shine the love of Christ into their lives. Will you pray for God to lead members of the Body of Christ to minister to them?
Prayer: “Lord, raise up workers for ministry to the fatherless. We know we need to ‘look after orphans and widows in their distress’ (James 1:27). Father, help Christians to faithfully ‘Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the orphan. Fight for the rights of widows’ (Is 1:17).”
