'Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.' (Luke 11:9)

When you think about it, it's truly amazing that we can come to almighty God, ask for what we need and know that he will hear us. It takes huge audacity to do that. And yet, audacity is exactly what Jesus commends in Luke 11. In the short parable in verses 5-8, it's audacity - boldness - that persuades the man to give his friend what he needs. If we're bold enough to simply ask, God will provide. So, as we pray for the children we and our partners serve, we come to God with boldness. We ask and we believe God will provide.

Latest prayer points

Please remember BCT and our partners within your personal prayer times or your regular prayer group. Below are some fresh points for prayer:

• The APRECOM team have gone the extra mile to ensure that vulnerable children’s needs are met, even in the midst of a global emergency. One key support is the distribution of food packages to vulnerable families. Pray that God will sustain and encourage many families, through APRECOM.
• LVLE are now building a local coalition of partners determined to end child witch accusations and bring the perpetrators to book. After years of raising awareness, they have recently formalised into ‘Synergies’ two local networks of civic authorities, police, and church and community leaders. Pray for the success of their lobbying to see proper enforcement of existing legislation which criminalises child witch accusations. 
• In some schools in Goma, child abuse, particularly sexual abuse, is rife. LVLE has been running 'Touch Talk' training for staff and students, and attitudes towards children have changed markedly. LVLE reports that school leaders have acknowledged abuse among teachers and committed to hold the perpetrators to account. Thank God for this success and pray that the 'Touch Talk' training will be used over an increasingly wide area.
