Today I was reading a book called "Operation World," and it was overwhelming. It's a 900+ page book that has information about what to pray about for every country in the world. I had no clue where to start when I picked it up, so I flipped to Guatemala since I recently visited there. One of the paragraphs jumped out at me:
"Children at risk:
The majority of children between ages 6 and 18 live in extreme poverty, with large numbers orphaned or from broken homes. Non-existent social support structures drive them to child labor or toward drugs, gangs, or the sex industry. Around 15,000 children live on the streets. Many documented cases exist of death squads murdering these unwanted 'nuisances.' A number of local and international ministries seek to help them; pray for real solutions to these desperate needs."
Our world is in need. The least we can do is pray.
