PRAYER FOCUS FOR THE WEEK

We will remember in our prayers the leaders and members in our Fellowship Groups.

 

PRAYER FOCUS : KENYA

Derek Roulston is in Galana at present, preparing for pipe laying to begin now that the rains have stopped for a few days.  The pipes will bring water from the Galana river to the site for the new school and clinic which are to be built there soon.  Pray that the road will remain dry to enable all the materials to be driven onto the site.  The local bush roads can quickly turn to mud and become impassable for heavy vehicles even with quite small amounts of rain. Pray also for the safety of both Derek and the contractor.
