I hope that we are all looking forward to what God has in mind for us in this new year.
We want to praise God for:

1. The birth of Mulinaine Lucy Renelle Kampamba


2. A blessed Christmas for so many in ZM and TZ who were a part of the
   Christmas project.


3. Dr. Thinus for continuing to host the American team and give advice to
   those who minister


4. Those who continue to faithfully give of their time, talent and
   resources.


5. Joseph and the direction God seems to be giving Joseph as he leads so many
   projects at Enfys.

We want to pray for:

1. Safe, productive, insightful (for long term ministry and associated
   decisions) trip to ZM in Feb. for Tannen, Renelle, Jack, Jim, Kangwa and
   Mark.


2. Work projects (e.g., Enfy’s plumbing, brick making, fish pond) ministry
   meetings will have God’s blessing.


3. Wisdom to understand and evaluate operations according to how God sees
   them


4. For the newly hired secretary in TZ will be effective in helping Chibesas
   and will increase communication with management/ partners in USA.


5. For the orphans in TZ to persevere in their schooling and for Jackson and
   those who may have dropped out of school to find God’s best direction in their
   lives.


6. Bless Hildah as she encourages women/ caregivers   to be a Godly influence
   in their children’s lives

We want to praise you, LORD, with all our
hearts; before all “gods” we will sing Your praise. We will bow down and praise
Your name for Your unfailing love and Your faithfulness, for You have so exalted
Your solemn decree that it surpasses anything else. When we call, You answer us;
You greatly embolden us. May all the earth praise You, LORD, when they hear what
You have decreed. May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the
LORD is great. Though You are exalted, You look kindly on us, the lowly; though
You are lofty, You see us and we praise You and we want to bring glory to Your
name.
In whatever happens we want to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of
the gospel. Help us to stand firm in one spirit, striving together as one for
the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose
us.
We praise You for new life. We thank You that each life is precious and
You rejoice and call good what You have made. Thank You for Mulinaine Lucy
Renelle Kampamba and the hope she represents. May she seek You all of her
life.
Thank You that we had the opportunity to celebrate the incarnation of
Your son, Jesus Christ. Thank You that the joy of JESUS can spill over to
others. We pray that gifts of clothing and food the
children received on Christmas morning will be a memory not soon forgotten and
the love You have for these children will be received as well as the physical
gifts.
Thank You for each person that You have called into this ministry. We
think of Dr. Thinus, Joseph, Hildah, Chibesas, Tannen, Mark, Renelle, Jim, Jack,
Kangwa, Fena, Martinz, Idah, Terry, Jeff, Eddie, Jill. Katie, the new secretary,
financial supporters and prayer supporters. We ask that
You would help us all to live a life worthy of the calling we have received.
Help us to be completely humble and gentle; to be patient, bearing with one
another in love. Help us to make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit
through the bond of peace. Help us to discern what is best so that we may be
pure and blameless for the day of Christ.
Teach the orphans who are attending
school to do their best for Your glory. Give them perseverance in the hard times
and joy in the time of blessings. Show each child enough of Your plan for their
lives that they see the importance of continuing the good fight.
Father again
we ask that You fill us with the knowledge of Your will through all the wisdom
and understanding that the Spirit gives so that we can live a life worthy of our
LORD and so that we may please You in every
way.











Our Visionis to be a God-centered team,
committed to equipping people to meet their needs in a spirit of
servanthood.






 









Reference for this Prayer:



Psalm
138:1 - 6



I
will praise You, LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing Your
praise. I will bow down toward Your holy temple and will praise Your name for
Your unfailing love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted Your solemn
decree that surpasses Your fame. When I called You answered me; You greatly
emboldened me. May all the kings of the earth praise You, LORD, when they hear
what You have decreed. May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of
the LORD is great. Though the LORD is exalted, He looks kindly on the lowly;
though lofty, He sees them from afar.



Philippians
1:27 - 28



Whatever
happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then,
whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know
that you stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the
gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose
you.



Ephesians
4:1 - 3



As
a prisoner for the LORD, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling
you have recieved. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one
another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the
bond of peace.



Philippians
1:10



So
that you may be able to decern what is best and may be pure and blameless for
the day of
Christ


 

Thank you for taking time to pray with us. When I am by myself I love to pray the scriptures and today I could hardly stop. I would encourage you to pray Psalm 145 and make it a personal prayer.
 Prayer requests
 
  Johnny is going to South Africa to start the process of getting visas for his wife (Tumie) and daughter (Theo) to come to the U.S. for Christmas and maybe longer, depending on where John gets a job.
  The STS clubs are gearing up for their 3rd school term of the year. This is when many of the schools tend to cancel meetings and the high school students are more and more stressed because of the major tests during this period.
  Shedrick, who is provided for in part by Enfys, is having problems with his eyes and it seems there is some concern that he will go blind despite us providing support for him to get eye surgery.
  Pray that the communication between USA and Zambia/ Tanzania would be strengthened.
  Join in prayer that God would move the right people to participate in a December trip and all the details would be worked out according to God’s will.
  Wisdom as Duane and Kathy Crumb seek God’s wisdom and direction for future seminars with HIV Hope.

 
 Heavenly Father, we come in the name of Jesus, our LORD and Savior. We exalt You, our God and our King; we will praise Your name for ever and ever. Every day we will praise You and extol Your name. Great are You LORD and most worthy of praise; Your greatness no one can fathom. We will commend Your works to the next generation. We will tell of Your mighty acts. We will speak of Your glorious splendor and of Your majesty, and will meditate on Your wonderful works for they tell of the power of Your awesome works. We will proclaim Your great deeds. We will celebrate Your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
 Lord, You are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. Thank You that You are good to all and You have compassion on all You have made. We will praise You O LORD; we will extol You.
 As David prayed in Psalm 143, we would ask that Your good Spirit would lead John and his family on level ground. That their hope would be in You and that You would direct their path.
 We ask that You would give a peace to all the STS members. We pray that they would not forsake meeting together and they would draw strength from You and each other in this third term, with all its testing  upon them.
 We lift to You Shedrick, Your own little one, It is our desire that he would have his sight. We know that all things are in Your hands and that Your love for him is far greater than ours and that You will do what is best for him but we ask for a healing because You have said that many have not, because they ask not. We don’t want to fail to intercede for him in the strong name of Jesus.
 We are so glad that You have all things planned but we ask that You would touch the hearts of those who should go to Africa this December. Give clear direction and work out the details. We pray that just the right team will make this trip and watch what You can do with a group of ordinary people in the hands of an extraordinary God.
 You have done so much in the lives of Duane and Kathy Crumb even the last month. You are the potter and they are the clay. Use them as vessels where and when it pleases You.
 We pray that our encouragement will come from being united with Christ, our comfort from His love and our fellowship with the Spirit. Help us to make Your joy complete by being like minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Help us to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than ourselves. Help us not only to look to our own interests but also to the interests of others. Help our attitude to be the same as Christ Jesus. In this attitude bless our ministry communication between USA, Zambia and Tanzania.
 May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven and may we allow Your will to be done in our lives also.   Amen
