IT IS WINTER TIME

Tonight temperatures will drop below minus one. Many in the informal settlements accross Namibia – where people live in shacks built from corrugated iron sheets, cardboard and plastic – walk long distances to collect wood from the veld. If you can't make fire, then you suffer from the cold.

Most of the people in the informal settlements are unemployed or underemployed, and struggle to afford the basic necessities. It is calculated that over 23 per cent of Windhoek’s population lives in the informal settlements on the outskirts of northern Katutura.

• Please pray that God will touch the hearts of those who have, to provide for those who are in need.

• Pray that God will come to town in Katutura in deeds of love through his children, the church in the city.
  

• Pray for various ministries who work in the poor community, that they will be able to meet the needs of the hungry, the cold, the sick and the lonely.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
