Prayers

Neema’s Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven, we are grateful for everything this month of August, we thank you for your protection and guidance in our home, thank you for all things that you provide for us. We are praying that you continue providing and guiding us, through our projects especially our farms and all the projects which are helping us to generate income.

We are praying for KELLY’S health, we know that, she is your daughter and you are a great doctor and physician, we trust you in every moment in her life.

We thank you Lord for your provision, we were able to harvest maize, the total of 64 bags, but we had a loss of beans.

Sandy’s Prayer:

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me— the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24

Outreach

STREET KIDS MINISTRY

Meeting our boys each week, sharing the gospel with them and learning of God’s love have been so uplifting and even so to just clearly witness God’s transform and move their hearts. We bless the Lord for His provision and we pray for a room where we can meet and share the spiritual and physical meals and fellowship

This month the Lord has privileged us to serve at the village where we fellowshipped with children and women. God has been so faithful and lead friends to give toward making nutritious flour for porridge for kids and though some missed, 22 children under 7 years old where able to get some.

Lord, the glory is yours! We praise you and our hearts longs to worship and glorify You our loving Father. We pray for the salvation of the world and for everyone to hear the Gospel. We pray for the peace of our sisters and brothers, and even so for these at war zones and social unrest. Lord we pray for true fellowship and that all we do will honor your Name and bring glory to your Kingdom. We pray for the leaders both GWP and world wide to lead with Your wisdom and love

Spiritual Self Defense

Neema’s Kilimanjaro Team:

In this month our girls started part eight of the Curriculum, “JESUS” my girls were very excited with this new part, and it was their good time to know how Jesus was born and He is the only son of GOD,(Luke 1:26-38) as we know that, some of our girls were Muslims, so they need to know much about Jesus Christ. So it a good part for them to learn more and more.

Sandy’s Maasai Team:

“We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you. Because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for God’s people.” Colossians 1: 3-4

The beauty of enriching ourselves with faith that leads us into salvation, the true love of Christ that saves us and gives us hope and peace. August has been such month of grace, having time to reflect, pray and meditate. We got to learn how to pray and memorized the Lord’s prayers and we are working on Psalm 23. These scripture also taught us to trust in the Lord.

Physical Self Defense

Neema’s Kilimanjaro Team:

This month we were able to meet for Physical Self Defense, and the girls are doing very good, I saw that they forgot some moves but they came back quickly. I see they still have problem with course 5, so we will put more effort on it.

Sandy’s Maasai Team:

We glorify God, our Father for always having the best interest in heart for us. This month He enabled us to learn more on abuse and how to protect ourselves from it. More importantly, we keeping learning how to recognize the “normalized” abuse. Our prayers are that we will not only learn of these abuse but learn how to protect ourselves from them in the most honoring way.

Intellectual Self Defense

Neema’s Kilimanjaro Team:

In this month our girls had their Mid- Term tests and Pre National Exams, as I said that, we have some girls, who will sit for their National Exams this year, so please join us in prayers for them. I believe that they will do the best in their studies. We gave them enough time for their preparation, praying and encouraging them. Also Monica who is in college, we thank God that she is doing very good in her studies.

So will have enough maize and we are planning to sell some bags of maize, so that to get beans for our girls to eat. We give all the Glory to Him.

We also thank God for our Livestock, for now we have enough milk and eggs, from our cows and chickens, so girls have enough to eat for their health. We can testify that, we are well doing.
