Caring for orphaned and vulnerable children begins with prayer. Around the world, millions of children face danger, loss, and uncertainty—but we believe God sees each one and calls His Church to stand in the gap. As we lift up these prayer points, we join our voices with His heart for protection, provision, healing, and hope for every child. May these prayers guide us, not only in intercession, but also in action, as we seek to reflect God’s love and care in tangible ways.
