Burdened for Childen


Tonight I had the privilege of approaching the throne of God with two of my team sisters, and one of the things I love about doing that is how it knits our hearts together and aligns our hearts with the same burdens AND enables us to do something about those burdens together.  And there’s just nothing like praying in the kingdom of God with your brothers and sisters in Christ—knowing that He is there with us propelling our prayers and fueling our passion.

One of the themes of our prayers tonight was for children and young people around us who are struggling.  My heart breaks for those who experience such great oppression daily in their schools.  Institutions which should feed the soul and cultivate a passion for life, are places of such great anguish for many here.

Special needs children in Cusco often cannot afford to go to a school with any sort of services designed for them, so they end up in schools where they not only struggle to keep up academically but are taunted mercilessly by classmates.  Teenagers who love the Lord and seek to live for Him are ostracized by classmates who are literally having sex and taking drugs DURING CLASS. 

I long so much to be able to offer a better educational option for these families!  It really just can’t come soon enough.
