Prayer Requests...

Greetings!

If this is your first time visiting our Kenya Missions Trip site, welcome!

One thing we are really looking for are prayer warriors who will commit to pray for us each day while we're in Kenya. If you are willing to take on this mission, or simply want to commit to pray at all, please let us know in the comments section.

Here are some prayer requests:

  • The church in Kenya would face this political and social crisis with power and grace and be an agent of healing and reconciliation.
  • Pray for God’s protection of our brothers and sisters there.
  • Pray that there would be forgiveness, and that the injustices that caused this mess would be addressed with the Gospel and compassion.
  • That our team would truly be spiritually prepared - walking in the Spirit.
  • That the many logistical pieces would come together: Flight, food, transportation, scheduling, meetings, etc.
  • Finances: We still need around $5000 to cover our expenses. We have raised around $17000 so far!
  • To have real impact through leadership training and evangelism. We do not wish to go and be more trouble than help! And we wish to partner with and serve the Kenyan church.
  • Ask God to give our team grace and insight and supernatural power as we prepare our material.
  • Pray for the three churches we'll be working with: Kahawa Sukari, Light-Way, and Hope
  • Pray for the pastors: Simon Oriedo and Ezekiel Kayeli of KSBC, Bruce Wandera of Hope and Doki Ogao of Lightway.
  • Pray for the team’s protection, health and safety. Do not underestimate spiritual warfare, so pray accordingly.

What we're doing in Kenya:

  • Youth Rally on Sunday 03/16
  • Youth Worker's Conference on Monday, 03/17
  • Basketball clinic and Boys' School ministry Tuesday - Thursday

My prayer partner (Janice) and I have been praying for the team the past few weeks and will continue to do so. Kenya and the continent of Africa is a special place to us and we are excited to see what God is doing through many different ministries and people.

I am proud of all of you in the Lord, for stepping out and being willing and available for service in Kenya. I am convinced (by personal experience) that you won't come back the same. I pray that your fervor remains for the rest of your time in Kenya and for when you return to Chicago. Let God keep you strong.
