Daniel and his companions were distinguished by knowledge and understanding. Solomon received extraordinary wisdom. Bezalel received knowledge and craftsmanship for meaningful work.

These examples remind us that intellectual development can become a powerful instrument for service.

Africa needs doctors, engineers, teachers, scientists, researchers, lawyers, economists, agricultural experts, technologists, entrepreneurs and many other skilled professionals.

Therefore, we pray for greater access to higher education—not merely for certificates, but for the development of people who will use knowledge responsibly to transform their communities.

We pray against barriers that unnecessarily prevent capable students from accessing legitimate educational opportunities.

Prophetic Illustration

Imagine a brilliant student from a modest family.

The student performs well in secondary school and dreams of becoming an engineer.

However, the cost of tuition, limited access to information and financial difficulties appear to close the door.

Then a scholarship opportunity becomes available.

A mentor provides guidance.

The student completes the application successfully.

Admission is granted.

Financial support arrives.

The student enters university, develops technical skills and eventually contributes to major infrastructure projects.

One opportunity changes an entire life.

This illustrates why we pray for access, affordability, guidance, scholarships, infrastructure and opportunity.
