Special Toybox Prayer Podcast Spring 08

Guatemala

Samuel (16) & Esteban (11) are brothers who are now part of the ‘El Castillo’ project in Guatemala.

Both boys have seen a lot of violence – their brothers are heavily involved in local gangs. An older brother has already been killed through gang violence, and another brother is currently in jail following arrest through gang warfare. Please pray for the safety of Samuel and Esteban. Samuel says “I am afraid to be killed by the involvement of my brothers in gangs.”

Both boys are very keen to study hard and to be able to help their mother. Please pray that they continue to find their studies inspiring and that they are successful in their learning.

Bolivia

Please pray for the project ‘Arbol del Angel’ (Angel Tree). Angel Tree works specifically with children at risk, living at the San Pedro jail with their parents. They are sometimes mistreated and live in total poverty, and often have to neglect school in order to earn a living. The project works to prevent this happening, and to prevent the children from choosing a life on the streets.

The centre opens three times a week, enabling children to come and learn or study, meet with other children and receive a meal – something that is not guaranteed in the jail.

The number of children coming to Angel Tree has been steadily increasing over time, and it has come to the point where they have too many children for the space they meet in! Please pray that they will be able to find a bigger facility to meet in and that the funding to cover the extra cost would be easily found. Give thanks to God that the project is able to serve so many children!

Give Thanks

… for all the summer events that have gone on over the last 2 and a half months. It has been very hard work but we have seen some wonderful things happen across the various festivals Toybox had the opportunity to attend. Give thanks for all our wonderful volunteers who gave their time and precious holiday to come and support Toybox.

Give thanks also for the conversations that were had and the friendships that were built as the teams interacted with many people in many places. Please pray that the event teams recover well (!) and that the staff and volunteers are able to catch up some much needed relaxing and revitalizing. Give thanks that Toybox had the privilege to be a voice for the street children of Latin America, and that God has many more amazing things planned for Toybox over the next year…
