(pri-TOR-ee-uh) – “Did you know that many of the white Afrikaan couples here in Pretoria send their spouses to the United States for employment opportunities?” write missionaries Daniel and Sky Scott. “We know of many couples whose husbands spend 6-10 months yearly in the U.S. working on farms, moving about as the harvests dictate. Apparently, the Pretorians can make more money there than they could ever make in South Africa. Some wives are taking on the role of breadwinner and going to work on cruise lines out of Miami, Florida. Their relationships with their young children consist of meager video calls as their marriages struggle to stay relevant. But they feel that these are sacrifices they must make to keep their finances afloat. Pray with us for husbands, wives, and children separated by oceans and time zones. ‘Lord, we pray that the spouses who stay at home will be strengthened by Your Holy Spirit as they exist as single parents. We pray for the spouses who are at work on the broad horizons. If they don’t know You, may born-again believers in the U.S. lead them to You. We pray for the children. May they know the love of a Father who will never leave them!'”
