Preparing the young

We were to leave for Opuwo 750 km to the north west of Namibia on Friday morning to teach a parenting seminar. Just as I was writing the prayer request, I received a message that the visit has been postponed. It seems that schools in that part of the northern Kunene Region are on a program of eccelerated exams. Schools will then close earlier to allow repairs of sanitation. Poor sanitation facilities can cause the outbreak of cholera. Teachers and parents are therefore not available for the parenting seminar at this time.

Please pray for children all over Namibia who are writing exams. Keep the flooded areas of the north in your prayers. Also pray for the people of Opuwo. There are many who love the Lord and who are eager to be equipped in their walk with Him. Pray that the the church will play a major role in preparing the young for a lifelong relationship with God.(Some of our friends from Opuwo seen on the photo above).
