As a follow up to this post introducting Red Card Kids, we're highlighting lessons 5 and 6 in the Red Card workbook!

Lesson 5: Child Laborers

-Missions of children are forced to become laborers at a young age. They are denied the education needed to improve their family's situation.

-Pray for God to protect these children from physical and emotional harm.

-Memorize Psalm 72:12 - "For he (God) will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help."

Lesson 6: Children of War

-Adults wage war, but children become its youngest victims. They experience horrors that their tender hearts and minds cannot process.

-Pray for God to restore children who have experienced the painful trauma of war.

-Memorize Psalm 91: 2b, 5 - "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust... You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day."
