"HE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS" - Prayer Update: May 16, 2021 to July 21, 2021

 

EXHORTATION 💕

💝  UNDERSTANDING MEN

 "And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ." – 

Ephesians 4:32

If we are going to be kind and have compassion for one another we need to have a reasonable understanding of each other.  We are in a battle and the battle is hotter now than ever before.  It is now more critical that we fortify our spheres of influence.  That fortification must begin with OUR MEN who have the responsibility of being the head our basic units i.e. our homes. 

We are addressing this at this point because men are widely misunderstood to the detriment of our families and by extension, our communities and our world. 

• Men hurt.
• Being fatherless affects how men deal with hurt.
• His anger, insecurities and self esteem can affect everyone. 
• Society has a skewed view of manhood.
• Hurt people hurt people.  

We must therefore treat with our men according to knowledge. 

Let us understand our men so that we can fortify our families!

FAMILY UPDATE 👪 

🙏🏾 WE ARE HERE SAFELY IN THE USA!

On Thursday July 8, 2021 we arrived in the USA for medical treatment.  We intend to be heavily involved in ministry while we are here. 

We have medical appointments August 16th God willing.  Please remember us in prayer. 

Mummy is here!

Good, now that you are here... 

🙌🏾 RAE-ANN

Rae completed her summer courses with a 'straight A's bang' and the maintenance of a 4.0 GPA. 

School fees for her final semester of her Associates Degree has been fully paid.  Glory to God!

Up next would be her final two years to complete her Undergraduate Degree.  This process begins in January God willing and we are praying for a full scholarship or total funding for this new and more costly level.  

🙌🏾 LYDIA

Lydia is doing fine as she continues to assist her sister Tessa, with the settling in process at her recently acquired home (where we are currently staying).

She would also be seeing the medical personnel to get the tests that she was referred by her GP for.

"Lydia #2" has lost a spiritual daddy.  Uncle Harry (Dowlath) was peacefully promoted to Glory and was laid to rest on Tuesday June 22, 2021.  Let us continue to remember the family in prayer. 

🙌🏾 REUBEN

Reuben seems to be enjoying his independent life and has learned quickly to "bubble a pot".  He shows off his culinary skills at our daily devotions apart from calling mummy from time to time for a quick tutorial.  He also has Granny, Aunty Ruth, Aunty Ashika and Aunty Jasmin on standby. 

Reuben hit his quarter century on the day we left for the USA (08th July 2021).  Please feel free to reach out to him and positively encourage him. 

He is still working at home on his own business projects while seeking formal employment to finance his trade.

Please remember us in prayer with these prayer requests. 

What is he doing here?

It's a wrap!

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 COMPUTER

Two days before embarking on this trip the limping computer "gave up the ghost".  

Glory to God for His provision and Saints who were moved to give toward the purchase of the new machine on which I am currently writing this blog. 

🙌🏾 TRANSPORT

God has done it again!  God has moved the heart of a brother and fellow labourer to lend us his vehicle for the duration of our stay here.  Glory to God!  We praise God also for the brother who facilitated the transaction. 

PRAYER 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

🙏🏾 COUNSELLING & PERSONAL EVANGELISM

I am currently counselling a couple with the hope of not only assisting them with their issues but also leading them to Christ.
