Ice Cream & Prayer Requests

Over the last couple of weeks, I took small groups of the girls out to eat ice cream and hang out, and to go gawk at the new Uchumi! (Auntie, they have SO MANY things here!) So, during our ice cream visits I’ve been asking them to share some prayer requests with me. What would you ask prayer for if you were a young girl in Africa? See below to find out theirs, and lift them up...
