How to Pray for Sponsored Students

Sponsored students at Akiba School come from a variety of very challenging backgrounds and conditions of poverty. Many students are orphans or from single parent households. The average income for families in these communities is often less than $2 per day. Water-borne diseases, Malaria, and lower respiratory infections are widespread. In addition, HIV/AIDS affects up to 9% of the population.

We encourage you to pray for your student regularly. Please know that they also pray for you. Many students pray for their sponsors each day by name.

Please pray that your student would know that their Heavenly Father loves and delights in them.

Please pray that God would protect your student from illness and abuse and deliver them from temptations and traps common to life in the slums.

Please pray that your child would stay focused in school and grow strong in character, spirit, and wisdom.

Please pray that God would work in the lives of their families and that he would draw each into a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

Please pray that God would nurture their faith, inspire them with hope, grant them grace to endure difficulty and hardship, and provide opportunity for a brighter future.

Please also pray for the faculty and staff of Akiba School, that God would protect them from danger and that they would be equipped and encouraged to share the love of Christ and to teach with dedication and commitment.
