Pray for Health & Healing
Prevention is always better than the cure. But what if you can’t access either? Too poor to afford things like vitamins, vegetables, or routine doctor visits, families in need are left vulnerable to all kinds of illnesses. If untreated, these illnesses can eventually put their lives at risk. Many people in Asia + Africa have never been taught the basics of health or hygiene – even something as simple as health education can change lives forever!
Pray for Health
Many people in the areas our missionaries serve in are daily wage labourers. This means that they work for a day, and then the family eat for that day. As a result, it’s difficult for them to afford healthcare. If parents are ill, they can’t provide for their families. If children are ill, they can’t get the education they need for the future. So good health helps to break the cycle of poverty.
Please pray that God will keep the poor healthy and strong. Pray that God will help our missionaries to raise awareness about healthy living, so that families can stay healthy and thrive.
Pray for Provision
We are so excited that GFA World’s medical camps have helped thousands of people to get free medical treatment and medication! However, many more people need this life-giving help. Medical camps are made possible partly by the generous support of loving partners on the other side of the world.
Please pray that God will provide for medical care for many people and communities who need it. Pray that God will raise up generous believers who have a heart for this ministry.
Pray for Personnel
For each medical camp, GFA World missionaries work with local medical professionals. These teams work together to bring health care to places that don’t have good health care facilities. The teams travel to remote areas, slums and other hard-to-reach places. Sometimes, they put themselves at risk of danger or disease. Each medical team needs enough workers, and for those workers to be kept safe.
Please pray that there will be enough medical professionals for each medical camp. Pray that God will keep them safe. Pray that medical professionals and local people will
Pray for Discernment
Lots of people and communities would be blessed by a free medical camp. Poor families often need medical help but just can’t afford it. 4.13 billion people in hard-to-reach areas have to walk over an hour just to get to any kind of healthcare centre! When they get there, they might not even be able to afford the help they need. 3 We love to respond and are thrilled about the difference it’s making. But, with so many opportunities, our leaders need God to show them where to go next.
Please pray God will guide our missionaries, showing them when and where to hold medical camps.
