^   PRAYER FOCUS FOR THE WEEK

We will remember in our prayers the members and leaders in our Ladies Bowling Club.

 

^   PRAYER FOCUS: KENYA - Gary and Mary Reid report, “Olkinyiei is dry and yellow/grey.  The cattle are again moving from place to place in search of grass.  It’s a sad sight to see.  If our Father doesn’t send rain next month, things will be serious.” Gary and Mary were not feeling too well last week but, thankfully, they are now both feeling much better.  At the end of last week, Gary and some men were able to make good progress with work for the PCEA mission station.  Because of the growing drought, less people were at church last Sunday as some were away with their cattle in search of pasture.  Pray that God will send rain to the Olkinyiei area very soon and in the right quantity.
