Far From Home

This 13-year-old Mandailing boy recently moved to the city from his small village. He doesn’t have family in the city. He has come to continue his schooling. His village school only had classes available up through the equivalent of 6^th grade.

Many Sumatra children face the same challenge. They have to leave their family and live on their own at young ages to have the opportunity to continue their education. Often they will live in a dormitory called a kos with other students.

Pray for God to open the eyes of His churches to these lonely, uprooted youth who are coming to the city for schooling.

Pray that Sumatra churches will find creative ways to minister to these youth.

Pray that this young man, and the many like him on Sumatra, will come to know new life in Christ as he seeks his education in the world.

Pray for Christian teachers on Sumatra to have wisdom and boldness in sharing words of life with their students.
