Start Praying

What a blessing it is to be united in Christ through prayer. Thank you for your concern, and for your support. We continue to praise God and pray for the following:

The Northern Region- Both of our lending partners are beginning to lend to Christian schools in the Northern region of the country. We pray that both organizations would lend wisely and find success there. We also pray for the proprietors, teachers, and students who may be impacted as a result. We ask that God would guide and direct us as we expand, giving us wisdom and discernment.

Computer Training- Praise God, we had our first computer training workshop thanks to our training partner, Aprendi! We pray it will be the first of many; that God would give us wisdom in the process, point us towards the right people and resources, and that schools would be blessed by the use of technology both in the classroom and in school administration.

AMO- For all the students who are currently in AMO classes that God would be working daily in their lives and in their communities. For all the students who will take AMO classes in the future that God would be preparing them now for the lessons they will learn and that God will continue to use this curriculum to spread his love and word in the Dominican Republic.

Education System and government- The educational system in the Dominican Republic is in poor condition and has been for years, partially due to the minimal amount of government spending in this area. As we await the presidential elections in May, we pray that God would instill wisdom and integrity in the future leader, and give him/her a desire and the means needed to improve the education system. We also pray for peace and well-being for the Dominican people, especially for the youth who will grow up to become the leaders of tomorrow.

We are grateful to you for your prayers as we work with you to affect the lives of children in Ghana. Please join us pray for:

Ghana-As this is an election year,we ask God for peace as a nation and believe God will see us through the election as always so Ghana continue to be the political stable and democratic nation it has been.

School Proprietors- We want to ask for God’s guidance for Edify school proprietors and that God should help them make good godly decisions like they have been doing to improve the lives of their students.

Ghana Education Service- We ask that the decision makers at the Ghana Education Service makes decisions that will encourage Private schools to expand.

As we continue to work hard every day to improve access to quality education in Rwanda, we continue to be thankful for your prayers and support. We are grateful to you for keeping us and the people of Rwanda in your prayers in the following ways:

• For reconciliation and healing as we lead up to the Rwandan Genocide Memorial week…
• For the daily resilience of school proprietors who face unimaginable daily challenges in delivering education to some of Rwanda’s poorest children…
• For the capability of school proprietors to continue paying back their loans so that Edify’s program can stay sustainable…
• For the government of Rwanda to rule justly and to be encouraging to private schools…

Thank you for partnering with Edify in this intimate way!

Our Partners: We thank God for our wonderful partners and all the work they do – Lending Partners: Esperanza, ASPIRE, and Training Partners: Chrysalis International and Aprendi. We pray that God would be present in our relationships to lead and guide us in our work together.

Trainings: Every week Aprendi, one of our training partners, puts on between 1-4 teacher training work shops. We pray that God will work through these workshops to enrich the lives of the teachers, directors, and students in the schools we work with.

AMO Follow-Up: Esperanza-Edify hosted an AMO training in San Pedro in January and the follow-up sessions have begun. We pray for the nine schools that will be implementing AMO in their classrooms; for the teachers who will be instructing the students, and for the students who will leaning more about their almighty God in a new way.

Pray for each of our team members in-country.
