670 000 KIDS TO LOVE

Today more that 670 000 kids will start or return to schools all over Namibia.
Let us remember our education system, our schools, teachers and children in our prayers:

Pray for Dr David Namwandi, minister of education and his staff. Also pray for the leadership in the various regions and at all schools. They need God's wisdom now to address the enormous challenges of 2014. Lord, we pray that you will grant our educators wisdom as they deal with an ever-changing society. Help them to remember that every effort is an opportunity to change a life, to inspire, to energize, to bring out that special gift you have blessed to each and every one of us.

Pray for each and every teacher. Our children and our future are in their hands. We pray for each teacher and child who are believers, that they will carry the message of Jesus Christ  to school every day. Lord, we pray for the strength and endurance of our teachers. We pray for their patience. We pray that when results are not apparent, may they be reminded that it is your time table that counts, Lord. And may they not be discouraged.

There is a serious shortage of teachers, especially those who can teach Maths, English, Science and Setswana. Trust God to provide the right educators.

A serious shortage of class rooms, especially in the north. Tents will have to be pitched to accommodate the many scholars. Pray that building project will get on the way soon.

The Khomas and Erongo regions with the highest number of scholars - placing pressure on the infrastructure. Pray for godly solutions for ever challenge.


Christ came to live with us as a teacher.
He encouraged us with his wisdom, his truth, and his endurance.
He taught so that others may teach the world.
May those who will influence and shape the minds of our youth, 
continue to be ever mindful of the greatest Teacher of all.
