Encouragement: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit... [Matthew 28: 19]
- Please pray for our young people and those ministering to them:
Pray for all the believers, congregations and the various youth organizations reaching out to the next generation in prayer, with the Gospel of Salvation, and seeking to disciple our children and young people.
Pray especially for these groups mentioned below, and the many other groups that you know of, that are seeking to win and disciple the youth in the city:
The CFAN teams which saw 148 014 NMB Learners (in the period between 8 July-16 August 2024) and 5 000 East London learners (in the week between 1 October-7 October) responding to the Gospel.
Hope for Kids (Gospel), EE3 and Mister Teddy and Company NPC (Anti bullying, anti drug campaign): Faithfully ministering the Word of God to our youth and regularly seeing young people turning to Christ.
Petra institute, which offers various training courses for parents, teachers, Sunday school teachers and all those interested in working with children, e.g. The First Thousand Days - God, My Baby and I, Standing Up Against Bullying, Advocacy/Intergenerational Workshops, and many other important relational courses.
Scripture Union: Learners' Christian groups in schools and regular Christian camps.
AWKN: A Christian interdenominational youth movement in the Bay.
Burn 24/7: An interdenominational prayer, praise and worship movement.
The many Christian school teachers, youth pastors and leaders, Sunday school teachers, and the local youth groups organized by the different congregations.
Especially pray for our pastors to own the responsibility of shepherding and discipling the thousands of newly 'born again' children and young people in the Bay, and in so doing to facilitate the network being set up in every area to take care of the discipleship of the learners that have recently responded to the Gospel.
- Please continue to pray for our Police: [Psalm 91: 9-11]
What to pray for our police: Their blessing and protection - promotions for the dedicated members, unity, peace that passes all understanding, protection, integrity, resources - human, physical and material, reduction in crime, a release from depression, blessings on all the members and their families, and godly love evident in every police station, unit and branch enabling a good working atmosphere.
For the police to be successful in their fight against crime and violence:
All those committing extortion, hijacking, human trafficking; people murdering, robbing and taking the law into their own hands to be correctly identified, arrested, fairly tried and suitably sentenced.
- Let's continue to pray for NMB:
The Metro officials to rule in truth and righteousness; for the people of the Bay to understand the fear of God; for peace and prosperity to become the hallmark of the Bay; people to take pride in the city and to keep the city clean; for our Municipal Services to run smoothly; for the Lord to guard the city from all danger! [Psalm 127: 1]
Remember the promise:
... pray to the Lord for the city because if it prospers, you will prosper. [Jeremiah 29:7]
