Thanksgiving Prayers?

We’ve all no doubt prayed a version of this Thanksgiving table blessing, “Lord, as we are blessed with this amazing feast before us, we are mindful of the many that don’t enjoy such abundance. We pray that you will bless them so that they will get the food they need, Amen.”

True mindfulness doesn’t exist for its own sake but leads to some kind of action on the part of the conscious such that we take steps to address the subject of our conviction. In this way, we acknowledge that the gifts of blessing are not ours alone but are the nature of the Universe and intended for all of creation.

At Africa Exchange we strive to be one instrument God uses to answer the prayers of many, restoring the flow of blessing so that all might thrive.

Recently, to our great joy, we were enabled to facilitate the much-needed flow of blessing to Lochor Esekon, a community in the arid lands of Northern Kenya. The Turkana people are constantly challenged by drought in their harsh environment, particularly so now as the last 5 rainy seasons have failed, leaving them especially vulnerable. The construction of our 12th Integrated Child Development Center (thanks to the Baugh Foundation and others!) will enable us to provide the critical services of early childhood education, clean water, nutrition, specific community health intervention and environmental restoration to this community. The devastating drought also calls for emergency food relief for the entire community.

With your support, we can continue to be an agent of transformation that God uses to answer Thanksgiving prayers!
