PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE FIELD DURING COVID-19 CRISIS

Pray for the Spirit of hope to come against the spirit of fear. May all of our field workers, site leaders, TfN students, teachers and children be voices of hope during this adversity. May they be bold in faith, strong in compassion and overflow in kindness to their families and neighbours.

Please pray for our International Field Director and site leaders to have courage and wisdom from the Holy Spirit to take necessary action, when needed, to protect our teachers, students and the children whom we cared for.

Pray for protection for all teachers, students and children who live in malaria-prone areas. May God protect them and cover them during this fragile time.

Pray for God to limit and stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus, especially in remote areas where medical personnel, hospitals and access to water are scarce.

Pray for one TransformNation student who is currently sick with typhoid fever and was admitted to the hospital. May she gain strength and make a full recovery. Please pray for protection from other diseases during her hospital stay.

Pray for all students who are not attending school at the moment. This generation may be going through the first crisis in their lifetime. May God give them strength and protect them from depression, suicidal thoughts and spending excessive time on the internet, where they may be susceptible to hoaxes, pornography and anything that may suck them in or give them false comfort.

Thank God for churches in North America who provide support and prayer for the work of MSI in Southeast Asia. Every one of them are being impacted in profound ways by this crisis. Some of our friends are sick, losing jobs, uncertain of the future and overwhelmed. Please pray for protection for each one of us: physically, emotionally and spiritually.

May God encourage us and draw us to Himself. May He comfort us with His word. May we be reminded of His faithfulness. Lord, give us peace that passes all understanding and may Your joy be our strength.
