Just a girl |
| In your mind, picture the life of this typical 7-year-old African girl: “This morning after I ate my bread, I washed the pots and pans, swept inside our hut, and carried my baby sister on my back. If I were a boy, I would be going to school. Since I am just a girl, I must learn all I can about being a wife and mother, since I already have a promised husband I will marry when I am 13. My mother has given birth to five children, all girls. My father is still not happy and talks about taking a second wife. My mother says it is very important for him to have a son who will carry on the family name. Well, I must run now and get my head scarf, since it is prayer time. My father leads the prayer and says words that I don’t understand since it is not my language. I just watch my mother and bow as she does.” Pray for young girls to hear about Jesus and His love for them. Pray for believing mothers to be faithful in teaching their children Bible stories and in modeling how they can talk to Jesus. Ask that at an early age, these girls will have hearts that seek after truth. Give thanks for radio broadcasts of “the Jesus Way” in local languages, and pray that by hearing these, children will begin to know the truth about Jesus and question traditional ways. http://imb.org/main/pray/ |
