Using What We Have, Trusting for More.

"What Do You Have in Your Hand?"

Hello Wai-Lam,

Thank you to those who gathered for prayer this morning to end International Development Week, reflecting on all that was shared this week.

As we were reading the theme passage, 2 Kings 4: 1-7, verse 2 stood out with the question of “what do you have in the house?”. Other translations phrase Elisha’s question as “what do you have in your hand?”

What a beautiful question to take us out of this week. As we are learning how friends in the global church are using what they have and trusting for more, how can we assess the resources around us and contribute the common good of our own communities?

World Partners hopes you have been encouraged by the examples this week and would encourage continued participation in prayer and engagement below.

Grace and peace as you depend on the Spirit of Jesus in your context, joining where He is at work in your own neighbourhood and around the world.

Prayer for other Global Partners

Kenya

Watch this short video below to pray alongside Charles as he oversees disciple-making networks across East Africa. They are pooling their resources and serving orphans amongst them-ensuring they have a safe environment, are food secure, and have access to school.

India

Pray for our partner in India as they continue to be a living demonstration of Jesus' attitudes, behaviours, and character, and seeking the common good of the communities around them.

Pray specifically for:

community welfare program's women's meeting, which is a day of ministry each month for women in the community to attend, with meals provided
the care for children initiative which sees five caregivers meet once a week with groups of under-resourced children, seeking to provide meals as possible.
