Families in Mongolia

Many families in Mongolia are broken. Due to lack of education and opportunities and even alcoholism, widespread in Mongolia, many children grow up in families unable to care for them properly. There is a real opportunity in Mongolia to reach families by offering life skills training. Ministry teams meet with families who are in need of help and teach vital skills to improve family life and the environment in which children are growing up. Through this practical help, teams are also able to introduce families with no exposure to Christianity to Biblical values and ultimately the Gospel itself.

Peace in Brazil

Brazil has abundant wealth, yet more than 16 million people live in conditions considered ‘extreme poverty’ – pray for these people. Brazil is also the country of the ‘jeitinho’: finding a way around things. In some cases this can reveal a sinful mentality which says it is fine to trample on others to get what you want and has led to an ethical crisis. Please pray against this and for Latin Link Brazil to grow as a sending and receiving team.

Lockdown is a death sentence

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed inequalities and inequity in Central America. Lockdown is a death sentence for many people because they are unable to go out every day to look for food or work in informal trade activities. In Guatemala, where Viva has a partner network, we see heart-breaking situations for children each day. For example, more than 20 boys and girls sleep in cemetery graves as they have nowhere to live. Pray that local churches working together, supported by Viva’s partner network, would be able to make a difference in Guatemala and across the region with practical help such as food relief and a phone mentoring programme to keep children safe.

Reaching people creatively

Pray for workers sent from God to join us in reaching those without Christ; for churches to turn away from legalistic attitudes, embracing the gospel of grace; and for God to use SIM’s medical ministry, English classes and other creative outreaches to bring people closer to Him. Pray also for grace, unity and cultural understanding, as we live and work in multi-ethnic and multi-generational teams.

Mental health

Pray for the mental health of vulnerable children affected by the extended lockdown in Guatemala. Many children in the slums of Guatemala City have been trapped in small tin shacks in temperatures around 30 degrees, 24/7 with nothing to do. Our local partners report a deterioration in the mental health of many children, despite their best efforts to support them in creative ways. Please pray for a restoration of joy for these children, and the ability to get out, move around, and access education.
