ETHIOPIA:
Meet Zertihun!

At just 18 years old, Zertihun didn’t plan to have a baby. She was planning to go to college. But soon after she learned she was pregnant, the nausea and fatigue took over, and she was forced to drop out of school. Her life was drastically changing before her eyes.

BURKINA FASO:
Maria Continues Cultural Traditions With Baby Amza

For generations, moms like Maria in Burkina Faso have carried babies on their backs using fabric called furungdu. The cloth is a long rectangle that’s securely tied around the mother’s chest. This technique is more than practical — it’s a powerful symbol of a mother’s love.

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

 

Pray for Zertihun in Ethiopia as she prepares to welcome her little one. Pray for the father as he steps into his new role. And pray for Zertihun’s mother as she supports her daughter through this exciting yet stressful time.

Praise God for the life of baby Sewovi in Togo. Thank the Lord that he provided timely care for this little one and that he made her well. Thank the Lord for the Nurturers center that supported her mom, Agbessinou.

Pray for Maria in Burkina Faso. Pray that she and little Amza will thrive as they spend time at the Nurturers center.

Pray for comfort for the staff and moms in a community we serve in Burkina Faso. Recently, Honorie, a mom who was enrolled at the Nurturers center, tragically passed away. She just welcomed her fifth child, Wendkuuni. Pray for her five children and her husband as they grieve. Pray for the moms at the Nurturers center who have lost a friend. Pray for the staff as they support those grieving.

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.
