Prayer Needs:
Updated on October 3, 2011
Two ongoing situations need our prayers, both having to do with water…
First, drought has affected East Africa for the past two years and matters are becoming critical. It is nearing time for the fall rains, and if these rains fail — as they have in recent years — the situation will worsen considerably. Famine will follow. Food prices have soared to the point that poor people cannot afford to buy food, and they have been unable to grow their own for an extended period of time. PLEASE PRAY for good rains…rains that start earlier than usual, continue later than usual, and soak the earth with life-giving moisture!
Second, the water project at The Lion of Judah Academy. Providing sufficient water to the school community is a daily challenge…and most days, we fail! The project to have our own water system is about 2/3′s completed, and the primary remaining component is running electricity to the pumping station. We have hoped the government electric utility will provide this, as they should do. However, economic problems are affecting their ability to do this work. We need an additional $20,000 – $25,000 dollars to complete this project. PLEASE PRAY for provision of this need, and completion of this project. It will benefit not only the school, but also the surrounding community.
Finally, the fall is when national exams are taken by several different classes: standard four (fourth grade), standard seven (seventh grade), form 2 (high school sophomore) and form 4 (high school senior). Each class takes their exam at a different time during the fall. These exams are critical to the future of each student. We have grown accustomed to our students performing very well on these exams, and are confident that will happen again. But PLEASE PRAY for the students as they prepare, that God will enable them to know the peace of his presence, and glorify Him in all they do.
