Come We Stay


In a 2007 edition of the New Oxford Review, Dr. A. Patrick Schneider II, who holds boards in family and geriatric medicine and runs a private practice in Lexington, Kentucky, did a statistical analysis of cohabitation in America, based on the findings of a number of academic resources. Here are five conclusions Schneider draws from his studies:


Relationships are unstable in cohabitation. Only one-sixth of cohabiting couples stay together for only three years; only one in ten survives five or more years.


Cohabiting women often end up with the responsibilities of marriage—particularly when it comes to caring for children—without the legal protection. Research has also found that cohabiting women contribute more than 70 percent of the relationship's income.


Cohabitation brings a greater risk of sexually transmitted diseases, because cohabiting men are four times more likely to be unfaithful than husbands.


Poverty rates are higher among cohabitors. Those who share a home but never marry have 78 percent less wealth than the continuously married.


Those who suffer most from cohabitation are the children. The poverty rate among children of cohabiting couples is fivefold greater than the rate among children in married-couple households. Children ages 12–17 with cohabiting parents are six times more likely to exhibit emotional and behavioral problems and 122 percent more likely to be expelled from school.

Prayer
Thank God for the widespread impact that God’s Word is having, and the transformation that is occurring in many marriages and families of Nairobi Chapel as a result of our sermons.


Some families right here in our midst have been going through difficult seasons. Pray for spouses and children from homes that are facing divorce, separation or strife among the couples. Pray that God may intervene, and may also bring relief and comfort in those marriages where there has been much heartbreak.


Our Children’s ministry has grown by over 100 kids within this past month alone. Thank God for the many children being reached with the living word of truth. Pray that these  children will continue to come to church with their parents, that they may be instructed in the way of the Lord. As a result of the numerical growth the CM has a great need for more teachers. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send in workers for our children.


With the growth of numbers in children’s ministry comes the need for child friendly  classrooms. Currently children meet in their small age-appropriate groups in tents that are set up and set down every weekend. Continue to pray that we will get the long awaited City council license, which we applied for and have been waiting for, so that we will build pre-fab classrooms, so that our children will settle and be enabled to encounter the Lord better.


Many volunteers work hard every weekend to facilitate people’s encounter with the Lord every weekend. Pray for blessings, encouragement and strength for them: ushers,  teachers, worship team, sound team, info desks, crèche workers, parking attendants  etc.


Our Social Justice Ministry has been doing a routine follow-up on some of the benevolence cases who received assistance after the post-elections violence. Thank God for the encouraging testimonies of answered prayers and rewarded efforts. Many who were supported by Nairobi Chapel are back on their feet with flourishing small businesses, children in school and paid bills.
