Pray

We will keep this page regularly updated with current prayer needs and answers to prayer to celebrate. Thank you so much for joining us in this foundational aspect of our ministry!

  • The church that is sponsoring us received what they needed to complete our work permit (visa) application. So it has now been submitted and we pray for a quick approval!
  • We are hosting several families to our home on Christmas Eve for dinner and a time of worship singing Christmas songs. Pray for encouraging Christ-honoring conversations and worship.
  • Pray for the “soft launch” of the church on January 5, meeting in our garage! Even though this is not the big public launch, we’ve had several people commit to joining us that Sunday. This will be a full day event with food and fellowship after the service and a time people can get to know the church both formally and informally.
  • Brian and I met with a young man that has a love for Jesus and for biblical worship. Not only does he sing, play piano and guitar, but has a passion for writing congregational, gospel-centered songs in both English and Swahili! He also has a humble, pastoral heart. We thank God for men like this serving in the Kenyan church, whether or not he ends up joining SGC Nairobi! Pray that God would direct him.
  • We’re finding out landlords in Kenya do things a bit differently than what we’re used to. We’ve had some kind of issue with the house every few days (especially with plumbing), that we are basically responsible for fixing. Pray we can finally get things resolved and not wake up to wet floors in the bathroom!
  • We thank God for our planting team, getting to spend time together, and know each other on a deeper level. Pray that our love continues to grow for one another as we do life together.
  • Keep praying for the courage to seek out authentic conversations with people, wisdom in relationships, humility to learn from others, but boldness to speak the truth in love, and that the Lord would open eyes to those deceived by false gospels.

You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
