Encouragement: Look to Me and be saved... For I am God, and there is no other. [Isaiah 45: 22]
Pray for:
- Families: Peace in marriages and families; absent fathers to have the realisation of how important their role is and to actively try to re-engage with their sons and daughters; strength for single parents, as they have to regularly fulfil two roles in the family, parents both playing the role that the Lord has given to them; children and young people to begin to honour and submit to their parents, and to learn to treat the elders with respect; parents to love their children unconditionally, but to also discipline their children when the children transgress; the raising of a Biblical Family Altar in every home. [Psalm 22: 27]
- Our learners, students, teachers and lecturers as they begin the new educational year - 2026; for the Lord to grant them wisdom, understanding, guidance and protection, and to help them navigate their challenges and difficulties. Pray for them to support one another with kindness and compassion, and for bullying to decrease remarkably this year, and for more and more Christian ministries to enter the schools to disciple the learners in the way of the Lord. [Proverbs 2: 6, 4: 7, 9: 10, 16: 16, James 1: 5]
- Peace in our land: A phenomenal decrease in all forms of violence - including gender based violence (GBV), robbery, corruption, arson and illegal gangs. [2 Timothy 1: 7]
- Our farmers and all those that have suffered tremendous loss because of the raging fires that have caused devastation in Gqeberha and further afield in the Cape this summer, not to become depressed but to trust the Lord to guide them and to take up the challenge to work and take hold of the promises from God concerning the restoration of all that which was lost. [Joel 1: 17-20, Joel 2: 25, Isaiah 43: 2-3]
- Let's continue to praise God for a very fruitful 2025 spiritually and for the thousands in NMB people who have recently come to salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Continue to pray for these new believers to be freed from all types of addictions like alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography etc. [John 8: 32 and 36]
- Pray for the Tent-Crusades taking place this February 2026:
1 to 4 February 2026: Jeffrey's Bay,
8 to 11 February 2026: Humansdorp,
15 to 18 February 2026: Uitenhage (Kariega)
- A great spiritual awakening in NMB this year; for a wonderful move of God in all our local congregations; for many to come to true salvation, and for an Open Heaven in the Bay and all the surrounding areas; for the CFAN ministry in the Eastern Cape. [Isaiah 60 and 62]
Remember the promise:
... pray to the Lord for the city because if it prospers, you will prosper. [Jeremiah 29:7]
