PRAYER MONTHLY ‘Devoteyourselves yourselves Devote to to prayer, being watchful prayer, being watchful and thankful’ and thankful Colossians 4:2
POINTS FOR PRAYER NIGERIA PAMELA, MUSA & GRACIE GAIYA The Gaiya family are very grateful to God for His love and care over their lives during the summer months. Give thanks for the recent Strategic Planning that Pamela has undertaken at ACTS. Pray that these plans will be put into action and that the work and ministry of ACTS will continue to go from strength to strength. Pray earnestly for the economic situation in Nigeria. Pray for Musa in his university teaching schedule and church responsibilities. Remember Gracie as she settles into Grade 8 (Year 10) at Hillcrest school. A new Superintendent will be needed for next year’s school year and beyond so pray for that vacancy to be filled with God’s person. Let’s also remember that this September is a special time for Pamela – she celebrates being with Mission Africa (formerly Qua Iboe Fellowship) 30 years. She joined the office staff on Monday 6th September 1993 at the young age of 21! Pamela went to Nigeria for long-term service in 2003; she and Musa celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary on 4th September. To God be the glory great things He has done!
