Children are a precious gift from God. As adults, we have the privilege and responsibility to care for them, pray for all children’s protection and safety, and help children around us live the full and abundant life God desires for them. Sadly, love and security aren’t the reality for hundreds of millions of children

Stand for Truth and Justice save the children
Pray for an end to child sacrifice.
Child sacrifice is an abomination. In certain districts of Uganda, witchdoctors convince people desperate for money to bear children or to rid their bodies of disease that can only be cured by traditional medicine mixed with a child’s body part, such as the head, fingers, or private parts. Ritual demands that the parts be removed while the child is still alive and conscious. World Vision’s Amber Alert-style program is taking on child sacrifice in Uganda.
Father, we come to You in prayer to protect Your children from abductors who prey on the most vulnerable. Bless the radical partnership between leaders of all faiths, law enforcement, traditional healers, and communities to stop child sacrifice once and for all. Comfort grieving parents in their time of unimaginable loss.
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. —Proverbs 24:11 (NIV)
