Therefore, we must stand in prayer for the preservation and wellbeing of children.

Infant and child mortality can be associated with many serious and often preventable factors, including complications during pregnancy and childbirth, prematurity, infections, malnutrition, unsafe water and sanitation, limited access to timely healthcare and other environmental or socioeconomic conditions.

Prayer must therefore cover both spiritual and practical dimensions.

We pray for:

• Healthy pregnancies.
• Safe deliveries.
• Skilled birth attendants.
• Healthy newborns.
• Timely medical care.
• Vaccination and disease prevention.
• Adequate nutrition.
• Clean water and sanitation.
• Strong maternal and child health services.
• Knowledgeable parents and caregivers.
• Safe homes and communities.
• Competent pediatric healthcare.
• Strong neonatal services.

We declare that African families shall increasingly experience the joy of raising healthy children.

PROPHETIC ILLUSTRATION

Imagine a tiny newborn entering the world with an entire lifetime ahead.

The child cannot protect itself.

The child depends upon parents, caregivers, healthcare workers and the surrounding community.

A timely medical intervention can make a tremendous difference.

A skilled birth attendant can recognize danger.

A trained healthcare worker can identify infection.

A nutritious diet can strengthen development.

Clean water can prevent disease.

Vaccination can prevent serious infections.

A caring parent can notice warning signs and seek help.

This illustrates the importance of protecting children through both prayer and responsible action.

We therefore stand in the gap for African families.

We pray that mothers and babies will receive timely care.

We pray that dangerous conditions will be recognized early.

We pray that healthcare systems will become stronger.

We pray that parents will receive wisdom.

We pray that children will be protected from preventable dangers.

Let every legitimate pathway through which children’s lives are preserved be strengthened.

Let healthy children arise across African families.
