FOCUS Prayer Page - 2 (2008)

We know many stories of people who have persisted in prayer without ceasing until they get an answer. The bible also teaches us that:

“When a believing person prays, great things happen-James 5:16

Bear this in mind this year as you receive various requests for prayer.


Continue Praying for:

  1. Peace to be restored in Kenya and for justice to prevail. The past 2 days have presented fresh outbursts of violence and more people are murdered while others displaced. Pray this current situation to end.
  2. Continue praying for safe arrival of the FOCUS container of books that is still stuck in Mombasa. The ministry is heavily dependant on money from book sales.
  3. For successful FOCUS book fares. Currently there is one in Bugema University. Pray for the staff in charge (Apollo & Ruth) and their team of volunteers.
  4. For Paramedical C.U which is organizing a 5 day crusade beginning this weekend. Pray for many for receive the gift of salvation.
  5. For resources to facilitate all upcoming FOCUS activities. We are currently in the early stages of organizing the Annual Missions Camp (20th -24th March) and FOCUS AGM (27th April)
  6. For parents and children as schools and tertiary institutions resume it can be quite stressful and financially depleting. Pray for Gods provision of the necessities.

    …..Thank you for being our partner in Ministry…..

FOCUS Prayer Page - 1 (2008)

“The great masters and teachers in Christian doctrine have always found in prayer their highest source of illumination…it is recorded of Bishop Andrews that he spent five hours daily on his knees. The greatest practical resolves that have enriched and beautified human life in Christian times have been arrived at in Prayer.” – Henry P.Liddor.

New beginnings give us the opportunity to start all over again, to do better at things that we did not give our best to previously.

New beginnings give us hope and remind us of God’s faithfulness and His mercies. Lam.3:23.

Make time this year in joining us to pray for the FOCUS Ministry.

Pray that:

  1. God will give wisdom and discernment to the board, General Secretary and staff on what direction the Ministry should take this year and in the years to come.
  2. For wisdom upon the staff on how to be relevant to students and graduates and how together we can respond to the various issues in our society.
  3. For safe and speedy arrival of a container of books from Mombasa.
  4. For a long term solution to the political situation in Kenya. Several FOCUS students, staff and graduates have been affected by the violence or displaced. One staff in Eldoret had her house and belongings burned to the ground, and is currently taking refuge in a Catholic Cathedral.

Give Thanks for:

  1. 2 (two) Volunteer staff who have joined us in the Communications Department; Peninah and Loice and another 2 (two) in the Training Department; Andrew and Peter.
  2. Associates in the diaspora who raised over 2 (two) million shillings (USD 1,180) during the Christmas break towards staff salaries.

HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR!!
