Prayer Corner - 2018
We rejoice that Phase 1 of the Health Centre Renovations have been completed.– We have installed new, professional ceiling tiles in the Health Centre, and the painting of the interior and exterior has been completed.
We rejoice that the new entry wall and gate have been completed. - We were required by the Ministry of Health to have an entry gate to the mission. We are so thankful that this has been completed, and looks so professional!!
We rejoice that the solar water pump and back up are finished.- the mission, clinic and community have not been without water since this renovation was completed! How we thank God for this provision! With the backup now in place, there will never be a lack of water at the mission!
The work of the ministry continues in East Africa. The following are our ministry prayer requests:
WE HAVE A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR PRAYER AS WE TRAVEL TO THE US FOR A SEASON FROM JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER 2018.
MINISTRY REQUESTS
1.) Wisdom working with the Bible and Literacy League of Kenya in implementing plans for the next three years (2017 - 2020)
2.) Favor and finances for a major project we are not talking about YET! We are still not at liberty to talk about this project, BUT we still need your prayers! We thought we had a way forward, but found that would not work for us. However, there is an alternative that we are working on. Although our first option did not work out, the option we are thinking can do very well, and will open doors for us through-out Kenya, and allow us to do some things that to this point we have had issues with. We are in need of $3,000 USD to complete the project. Stand in agreement with us!!
3.) Wisdom for the Bible School committee members; favor in registering Grace and Faith International Bible School in Kenya.
4.) Clarity in vision for increase in ministry outreach for 2018 through 2025.
5.) Open doors in churches and organizations in the United States to share the vision and ministry of Grace and Faith Family Ministries International.
6.) MONTHLY PARTNERS who will help us underwrite all it takes to do the work of this ministry. (In January 2017, we lost nearly 80% of our funding!) Since that time, we have continued to move forward by faith. We are now about 20% funded! We have established a club called “My $10.00 Matters.” This “club” is for persons who are willing to commit to $10.00 (or more) per month for the support of this ministry. If you wish to be a part of this club, please sign up now online for recurring payments for your pledge. Your $10.00 counts!!
7.) Monthly partners with the Health Centre to cover the staffing allowances of $800.00 per month for the next five years.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
FINANCIAL REQUESTS:
In 2015, in obedience to the Holy Spirit, we donated our vehicle in Kenya to a local pastor. The vehicle needed some attention, and this pastor was able to give it the attention it needed. We are now in need of a vehicle in Kenya. At first we were looking at old used vehicles...and then started looking at a bit newer (at least 2000 models). As we were looking, we felt the Holy Spirit saying to take the limits off God! So we have taken off the limits! After looking at a number of models, we believe the Lord is leading us to purchase a Toyota Fortuner. This is a 4WD, V6 diesel with turbo. It will seat seven comfortably, and has a roof rack for additional luggage if needed. We are now thanking God for the way forward to purchase this vehicle. (The picture on this page is a picture of the type of vehicle we are believing God has provided for our ministry in Kenya.) Thank you for standing in faith with us as we receive this vehicle into the ministry here in Kenya!
Please be praying over our projects…you can find them on our projects page. We need to raise money to renovate the Kitchen for the mission, as well as building a library, classrooms, offices and dormitories. We also have a guest house in need of major repairs…it’s an actual “do over,” if you know what I mean. Fortunately the foundation and walls are still very strong, but we need to replace the roof, and build out the inside.
We have some pressing prayer requests for you – financially, we continue to operate on about 20% or less of our actual need. Pray with us for the following
1.) To be fully funded in ministry, we need $84,000.00 per year, or $7,000.00 per month.
2.) We currently have faith partners that give us about $1,400.00 per month. (Hence, 20% funded)
3.) Pray for open doors of communication with the leadership in Africa
4.) Pray for committed workmen in Africa who can be trained to carry on the work.
2018 Budgetary Needs
Additionally, we have the following financial requests for the continuation of our 2018 Budget:
FINANCIAL REQUESTS:
1.) Tables, chairs, bed frames, and repair of bed frames for Bible School: $500.00
2.) Furniture for guest house and guest rooms: $2,000.00
3.) Medical Dispensary Budget (Yearly): $20,000.00
If you would like to underwrite one of our major projects, please contact me as soon as possible - we will be glad to give you the full details and breakdown of the budgets, and will honor your donation by special mention, if allowed.
Together we really DO make the difference!
