CBM Prayer Update: Kenya

Erica meeting with the CBM Urban Ministry Team in Nairobi

Celebrations with the Africa Brotherhood Church

2018 marks the fortieth anniversary of CBM's partnership with the Africa Brotherhood Church. This coming week, we will be hosting past and present general secretaries/executive directors Gary and Carla Nelson, Malcolm and Patty Card, and Terry Smith who are coming for the event. 

Please join us in praying for their safe journey and for the hundreds of ABC members that will be travelling to participate in this time of celebration. 

We give thanks for the blessing of the partnership with the ABC for these many years.

Urban Ministry in Nairobi

May is the beginning of a new school term for the students receiving scholarships through CBM's urban ministry project. Please pray for these boys and girls and for their families. 

We also pray for the urban ministry team as they assist self help groups in navigating challenges, especially those working at establishing new income generating activities.

Flooding in Kenya

Heavy rains have been pounding Kenya, since March of this year. The rains have caused flooding and mudslides that have taken more than 130 lives and displaced approximately 225,000 people from their homes. 

Last night's rains in Nukuru, west of Nairobi, burst a dam in the community of Solai and washed away hundreds of homes. 32 people are now confirmed dead and 41 injured. 

Please join us in praying for the families affected by flooding in Kenya and neighbouring Rwanda. We pray for the families devastated by these disasters and for the churches and groups that are responding.
