“Children … poverty… orphans, adolescent mothers, those affected by HIV and Ads, those discriminated against because of gender, culture and religion… victims of domestic and country’s political violence and refugees” – words from a special report (1) describing Kenyan children out of school. Another report (2) shares even more discouraging news: “Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for one-half of all out-of-school children worldwide and has the highest out-of-school rate of all regions.” Pray today for wisdom, discernment and strength for Believers who desire to obey our Father and Be His Heart, His Hands and His Voice among those in need in Africa.
