Following 3 days of meetings, Mon-Wed, in Mombasa where we will get to know each other and reflect on the Opportunities and Challenges before the Church in Africa, we will visit several churches and ministries in Kenya before departing. This kind of meeting has been a dream of ours for over 6 years and it is finally coming about.
We ask you to pray for the upcoming Consultation of leaders of the denominations started by the US, Swedish and Taiwanese Covenant churches in Africa.. Pray for:
- deep connections between the leaders
- the speaker as he addresses worldview issues that are a challenge to the church
- a sense of God’s presence throughout
