According to UNICEF, millions of children run away from home because of violence and abuse. 185 million children under 18 years of age live in Latin America and every year six million suffer extreme violence and some 80,000 die in their own homes.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
Pray for -
• Children who suffer physical or verbal abuse from parents or other adults; that these adults would change their ways
• Good teaching and training of parents to discipline children without resorting to bodily harm
• The adults who do not treat children well. That they would be changed and become aware of children’s needs
• Families to give more time to teaching, praying, playing and blessing children both within and outside their own families
Governments to acknowledge the significance of the family unit, to honor marriage
and legislate to protect and help keep families together
