January 2011
January 1 – Pray for the first day of the year, that we will remain aware of God’s challenge to be engaged in the Great Commission and sharing the gospel of God’s wonderful grace.
January 2 – Pray for Bruce McIntosh, our Member Care Director, as he becomes more and more involved in our ministry both to our home staff and other missionaries, and also to those overseas. And pray for his mission trip with our team to Nicaragua on Jan. 25.

January 4 – Pray for Bob Nicol, our Engineer/Missionary who successfully oversaw our first water well with our new rig last November in Kenya and his prayer and support needs. He has made a number of sacrifices to see this first well get drilled.

January 8 – Pray for Dean as he heads off to the heartland of the USA, Kansas, and visits two of our supporting churches and many friends.
January 9 – Pray for the vote on the Referendum in Sudan as southern Sudan officially splits from northern Sudan. We have already seen a lot of violence surrounding this vote.

January 11 – Pray for Ken Gatithi, the Manager of our water well drilling ministry in Kenya, as he helps us with the logistics and accounting. Also, pray that his recent bout with malaria will not create further health issues for him.
January 12 – Pray for our 549 orphans in Sudan near Darfur and that the violence over the vote on the referendum to split off southern Sudan from the north will subside enough to send in two of our coworkers.
January 13 – Pray for Francisco Caldera, our Nicaraguan Field Director, as he works hard to organize events for our team which arrives on January 25. Pray, too, for his prayer and support needs.

January 16 – Pray for Malcolm Harris in Liberia and for a possible visit from Dean.
January 17 – Pray for Lawson Sampson in Nigeria and his church and his soccer team he uses for evangelism.
January 18 – Pray that many might use our CrossWay Gift Cube as a means of sharing the gospel of God’s grace in such a way that God’s free gift offer through faith for salvation cannot be misunderstood.
January 19 – Pray for more workers in God’s harvest field as our ministry continues to expand.
January 20 – Pray for our management team in Sudan who look after our 549 orphans: 2 managers, 10 teachers, 1 Head Master, 2 guards, 2 cleaning ladies, and 2 cooks. Pray that we might be able to get them into a position to stand on their own in perhaps another two years.

January 22 – Pray for the discussions we are having with the Ethiopian Christian Fellowship of Doctors to assist us with the needs of our new Medical Clinic in Meki, Ethiopia. Pray for a full-time nurse and more meds and equipment. Pray also for a young lady who is giving prayer and thought to being more involved to help us in this project.
