ETHIOPIA:
Meet Tirunesh!

Tirunesh smiles while holding her baby

Tirunesh is a dedicated mom in Ethiopia. She would do anything for her children and worked tirelessly as a petty trader and a house helper to support her family. But at 28, she was fired from her job. And she quickly became desperate for help.

Even though her son Amza is on the go, mom Maria can’t spend her days chasing him. Instead, he’s on the go with her. Last quarter, you saw how she’s a master at the baby wrap. Now you’ll see how she uses it!

Through Compassion Nurturers centers, moms in Togo are cared for from pregnancy to birth and through the first year. But the lessons learned don’t just end. These moms in Togo are learning how to make soap, a skill they can use to create their own business to support their little ones.

Pray for moms and babies as they faithfully attend Compassion Nurturers center activities:

 

Pray for Tirunesh in Ethiopia. Thank God that she was connected to the Compassion Nurturers center, and pray that God blesses her work to learn income-generating skills so she can support her children. Pray for her son and daughter as they grow.

Pray for Maria and her son Amza in Burkina Faso to stay healthy and strong. Pray that God would provide an abundant harvest for her family.

Pray for mothers in Togo at the Ministère Internationale de Jésus church. As they engage in the income generation classes, pray that God would help them learn the skills they need to make a steady income, to save and to budget.

Pray for Zertihun and her son Barnabas in Ethiopia. Pray that Zertihun’s return to school will be a smooth transition and that she will successfully finish her education. Pray for Zertihun’s mom and partner, as they are the financial and emotional support system for mom and baby.

Continue to pray for all the moms at Nurturers centers. Pray a blessing over these mothers in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Togo as they navigate motherhood while struggling to overcome poverty. Pray that God would provide for each family.

Pray for the spiritual lives of these moms and their babies. Each participant will hear the gospel and learn they are loved by God. Pray that the Holy Spirit would move in their hearts so they become followers of Jesus, finding hope in him.
