We will be leaving almost one month from now for Kenya! Please be praying for us as we make final preparations and continue to try and raise the funds needed for our ministries there. Our team will be dedicating time in specific prayer each day toward one aspect of our trip. I will list them below if you would like to pray along with us before we leave:
Thanks in advance,
Jenni Millet for the group
Saturday, June 4
Please pray for our final meeting and the packing day preparations on Sunday. Pray that we will get all the necessary supplies and items to donate all packed in a timely manner. Pray that the Lord will be exalted in all that we do. Praise God for His never-ending love for us and that He seeks the heart of man continuously.
Friday, June 3
Please pray for the final preparations that we are all going through to prepare for the trip. Please take time to Thank the Lord for His faithfulness in providing just what we need for the trip. I am already amazed at what he is doing. Pray that we all can have some needed Sabbath before we leave as well. That we will be renewed and refreshed before we leave.
Thurs. June 2
I have attached the current prayer group roster. There have been some changes to make note of. Please take time to pray for each member of your specific group today and to uplift each member each day this final week.
Wed. June 1
Please pray for each one in the group. Sometimes during this last week doubts about the trip can arise. Please pray for boldness and perseverance for each one as the enemy often wants to discourage us in our final preparations. I have actually find this encouraging as I believe that the Lord has great and wonderful work for us to do that the enemy wants to hinder. Let us encourage and bear one another’s burdens.
Tues., May 31 -
Please pray for our work project at Scott. It has recently changed to working on elementary school classrooms for their ministry for local children. Scott has recently lost some enrolled students who were pulled out due to the poor conditions of the current classrooms. We have sent over some money to help them construct new additions. We will be working on these while we are there. Please pray for the school as they prepare the work project and for us as we try to help them complete this project while we are still in Machakos.
Monday, May 30 -
Please pray that we will have the heart of the Lord as we finalize preparations and go to serve. Pray that He will open our hearts to those in need both spiritually and physically. Pray that He will open our minds to understand and appreciate the Kenyan’s and their culture. Pray that He will give our group a Spirit of love and joy that will be noticeable to all who encounter us.
Sun., May 29 -
Please pray for the VBS team as they meet today to practice the material that they will be teaching from. Pray that the Lord will bless their efforts and that they will be able to see children come to Christ.
Sat., May 28 -
Pray for the country of Kenya. Pray for the leaders of the country that they will make wise and God – honoring decisions that are in the best interest of the people of Kenya. Pray that the people of this land will be thirsty for the word of God and will be able to see clearly and distinguish between the truth and the false systems of man.
Friday, May 27 -
Praise the Lord. Many of the details we have been working towards finalizing are coming together. The Lord is providing. The Lord is good. Again, thanks to James Ndungu who has been hard at work on many of the trip details. We are now finalizing many of the details in Kajiado. Please uplift Pastor Charles in Kenya, who will be traveling to Kajiado on Monday to finalize our plans. Please pray for his safety in travel, that the final coordination of our lodging, food and ministries will be easily taken care of. He is also trying to set up an orphanage visit as well as coordinate plans for our group to build a very simple structure for a new church in a Masai Village.

Wed. May 25 -
Please pray for all of us collecting items for the trip. Pray that the Lord will provide just the right supplies and materials that we will need and more importantly others that we will serve will need. One year we showed up with a bunch of formula for the orphanage who had just run out the day before. We filled a need that we had no idea was there. The Lord is good.

Please pray that the Lord will open doors for him not only to provide lifesaving skills but also opportunities to share about the love of Christ.
Sun. May 22 -
Please pray for James and Mary Ndungu who are helping us to coordinate the trip to Kenya. Although they are not able to travel with us this year, they have been very gracious to do much work for the group in order to set -up our ministries. Please pray for them this summer as they have a daughter leaving for college and they are finishing up their own schooling as well. Pray for the two individuals ( I do not know their names yet) who are on the ground in Kenya helping to coordinate our ministries.
Sat., May 21 -
Please pray for my family as we prepare for travel to Kenya. Pray for Jenni and I as we coordinate the trip as well as prepare our younger children for this new adventure for them. Pray for Max, Marshall, Mikayla and Marie as they learn to step out in faith. Pray that the Lord will provide for our special considerations throughout the trip. There are obviously many situations that our children will need extra care and help with. Pray for all of us to have patience and to find joy in the travel and the busyness of the work. Please especially pray that my children will see their unique calling to serve the Lord and that they will understand that they can be used in a dynamic way just by being willing to serve and allow the Lord to complete who they are.
Friday, May 20 -
Pray for our ministry in Kajiado. We still have many details to work out on that end. We would like to send people there to minister, but we are not sure what that looks like at this time. Please pray for Mama Ruth and Pastor Charles as they continue to lead their people and develop the church in that area. Pray that we will know exactly how we can support this new church and how to encourage the new believers in this area.
Thurs., May 19 -
Praise the Lord: We have received quite a few donations that will now cover all of our large outstanding bills. The Lord has generously provided funds as we have raised over $22,000 in just three days. Please continue to pray that the rest of the funding will come through to cover our ministry needs and goals. The Lord is good and has and will continue to bless our efforts and prayers. Let us all go before the Lord with Thanksgiving.

Please pray for the Springs of Hope Orphanage. Please pray for the many young children that they take care of. As of last year they had 45 children. It is quite possible they have increased in size this past year as they are the only facility that takes in infants in the area. Please pray for the many workers that help to take care of the children each day. Please uplift Mary Musyoka the director of the Orphanage. Pray specifically that they will be able to continue to raise funds for their new facility where they hope to build better housing for the children.

Please pray for the students at Scott to be successful in their studies and that they will continue to be bold for Christ throughout their communities. Pray that the institution will continue to grow and develop as they have recently undergone a transfer of leadership (new headmaster) at the school. Pray that the Lord will meet their financial needs and that they will stay steadfast to their mission to train spiritual leaders to influence Africa for Christ. Please pray that we will be a blessing and encouragement to these fellow believers and brothers and sisters in Christ.
