When you were learning about washrooms, you would have seen just how significant the need for proper sanitation facilities really is. Toilets really do have a serious impact on people’s lives. Whenever the need is great, we need people to pray.
Set aside some time for four weeks to pray for this need and how it is affecting children in poverty around the world. We have included prayer points for each of the four weeks that follow along with the themes you learned about and the content you can share with others. We know that your prayers influence the heart of God to move on behalf of children—what incredible impact prayer has!
