CBM PRAYERLINE
KENYA Please pray for the preparation of next year’s summer camp ministry in Kenya, called Kamp Tumaini. As shared by the Kennys, CBM Africa Team Leaders, “we are very thankful for the commitment of the local Africa Brotherhood Church (ABC) that has been working with families infected and affected by HIV and AIDS for over ten years. The ABC is currently facilitating Guardians of Hope groups throughout Kenya. Kamp Tumaini is really one way to build upon their great work”. Also pray for the students, faculty, and administration at Mivumoni. Changes by the government's ministry of education have created a lot of confusion and tension throughout Kenya. Pray for patience and understanding throughout Kenya.
Notice Sussex Baptist Church will be serving hot chocolate at the Annual Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, December 3rd. The cost of hot chocolate is $200.00 (2 thermal urns). Currently, we have $70 collected. All contributions would be greatly appreciated. Please see Shawn.
BOLIVIA Pray for workshops on domestic violence in communities in Bolivia, developed by Kallie Hutton, CBM Field Staff in Bolivia using research out of Latin America and Bolivia and through consultation with local health professionals. A few months ago she was able to train a group of young women from a local church on how to facilitate the workshop. Please pray against the violence against women taking place in these communities, but also for the growing number of leaders committed to confronting this endemic.
Philippines The Waddell family, CBM Field Staff in the Philippines, ask for your prayers as they continue to learn about the Filipino culture and study the Tagalog language. Please pray as they prepare to move into a more permanent home this coming December or early January, as well as for CBM Field Staff Duane Guthrie and Michael Waddell, who will be travelling for ministry in the coming weeks. Pray for the family as the children continue to adjust and settle into the differences of life.
