Today’s prayer

Many children with special educational needs in South Asia need someone to advocate for them. We give thanks for those across South Asia who are working to increase the level and quality of special needs teaching in this part of the world, including mission partner L, who is also chairperson of the local chapter of the Special Educational Needs and Inclusion Association (SENIA).SENIA is hosting a conference this month for partners throughout the region who work with children with special educational needs. Pray for the event to be a great time of fellowship and sharing of ideas so that all children are able to learn and have the tools to fulfil their potential.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed
