Today, Lord, I lift up two very special people in Tanzania—Laurence, the Executive Director of Next Life, and Mary, the Director. They carry significant responsibilities as they work to keep the school running smoothly, steward budgets wisely, and care for our students and staff with love. Mary faithfully serves our students and the families of our students and models what a godly woman looks like. Laurence engages with the broader community, addressing challenges with wisdom and a Christ-centered spirit.

Lord, I ask that You grant them an extra measure of discernment and patience as they navigate difficult decisions. When they must discern legitimate requests for financial help or other needs, help them to do so with grace and compassion. Bless them and their families as they faithfully serve and advance Your kingdom in Mbuguni, Tanzania.

I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
