Prayer Requests

Dear Brethren - Pastors, Friends & Prayer Partners,

This last month has been an unique one. Two weeks ago I took our English service team to three different Baptist Churches in Nairobi for an interaction and experience of what it takes to be to ready for a Sunday morning music ministry in a manner that will glorify God. Among the key observations was of the dedication and commitment of the teams we met! We pray that as our team work and prepare they will glorify the Lord and bring our people to an experience of knowing God intimately through His Word as they sing!

Yesterday I received the sad news of the last born child of Pastor Philip Warutere from Nyahururu Baptist Church. Their six months baby Jordan Warutere succumbed to complications of pneumonia. The Lord allowed this young one to go home to be with Him – free from all the toils of this restless world! Millicent and I went to Nyahururu to comfort them and plan the funeral arrangements. Pastor & Mrs Philip and the church leaders would want and missionary John Longisa to take charge of funeral service on Saturday.

It is a busy week alright! Praise the Lord for opportunity for ministry. This Friday I will be speaking our school ministry’s Speech and Awards Day. It will be a day with the parents come to see their children awarded for their various endeavors and disciplines. It is also a day with a BIBLICAL MESSAGE (SPEECH) IS GIVING IN A MANNER that will glorify God to impress the parents towards Godly parenting and to seek God’s will in their lives. I desire to ask you to pray that God the Holy Spirit will use me as a vessel unto honor! That the Teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit will result in transformed parents! Pray that the Word of God will have a free course in the parents and audience! I WANT GOD TO BE GLORIFIED!

We rejoice in the addition of new members at the MKBC in the last two weeks. Two Sundays ago we had 5 added into our membership and last Sunday 2 young people as they identified with our Lord Jesus Christ in baptism!

Lastly but not least! Pray for us!

• Salvation Of Souls

• That this Christmas will be a special one for our family. Our son Shadrack is going to go through the Rite of Passage! We want it to be a deed that Glorifies God and that he will mature into a young man who loves God and hates sin.
• Pray for Tabbysue our daughter. The class Form II East has been lagging behind. Their classroom these two years has been in the Dinning Hall! It was not a very good environment for study! They maintained an obedient spirit. PRAY THAT WITH THEIR MOVING TO A REAL CLASSROOM THEY WILL move to the top in performance among the Form III classes in the coming year! She has been a student leader – pray for her wise and servant-leadership at Njonjo Girls High School!
• That we would eventually have our house!
  

As the Lord impresses upon your heart to pray for us. May God bless you.
