If you see any suspicious looking person please alert an ushre or a security guard immediately.

Prayer

We can capture two main thoughts from the colt that Jesus rode when he entered Jerusalem as King; one, it bore the weight of displaying Jesus as King of Kings with minimal recognition and two, it actually walked on a carpet of expensive coats spread out on the road by the cheering crowd, Luke:19-40. In this contest, thank God for the many Chapelites who have tirelessly volunteered at our various ministries this year and pray that the Lord will allow them to walk on a carpet of eternal blessings/rewards.
 
Among the key highlights of “The Call” prayers of last weekend (6th Dec), was the repentance and blessings of the Kenyan Church fathers to the emerging church leaders. Bishop Mark Kariuki led the fathers while Pastor Simon Mbevi (of Mavuno Church) received the good tidings on behalf of the emerging church leaders of integrity. This was a significant spiritual declaration at the power-charged prayer meeting. Thank God for opening doors of God's anointing to freely flow from one church generation to another. Ask the Lord to sustain the current spirit of prayer among all members of Chapel as we usher in revival in Kenya and beyond.

After December 31st, many of our 2008 ministry Volunteers, Interns and Pastoral Trainees will be transitioning into various other areas of service outside Chapel. Some have clear call into fulltime church work while others go back to their careers. Pray; that wherever the Lord allows them to serve, they will serve with righteousness, integrity and excellence that easily displays the splendor and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Pray for their quick and convenient placements in January 2009.

Continue to ask the Lord to prepare and convict many more ministry volunteers for the coming New Year. Especially, ask the Lord to send passionate and mature teachers to our children's ever-swelling Church. Pray; for Kids' Camp (16th-20th Dec) and the Childrens Service on 21st Dec. ask that many kids will be available despite the other events and travel in this festive season.
