Prayer Laborers,
This month we’ve asked each of our Life Coaches and our Social Worker to list their respective petitions and praises. Two suggestions, not mutually exclusive:
1) Break up the requests and pray by school over the course of the month; and/or
2) Read over the three pages in one sitting for a collective sense of the heart of our staff for God and for Courage Youth learners, and pray along the themes you discern.
In any event, thank you for interceding on behalf of Courage Youth South Africa: staff, programs and, most importantly, learners.
