Mukhanyo Prayer and Praise - February 2021

“Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”
(John 8:12)

The new year has started. At the time of writing the first month is already drawing to a close. We don’t know what the year will bring, but we trust the Lord that it will be a year of many opportunities for the Gospel! May the Lord help us here at Mukhanyo that many church leaders will be equipped and trained for ministry and that our labours will contribute to the extension of His Kingdom in Southern Africa!

1. Thank the Lord with us for His hand of protection over the MTC staff during the past holiday season and the current COVID-19 wave.
   
   
2. Thank the Lord for the new students that enrolled and pray with us that their studies will be a great blessing for them.
   
   
3. Thank the Lord for new lecturers that joined our ranks – some on a full-time and some on a part-time basis. Pray that they will soon feel fully part of the Mukhanyo family and will quickly find their feet in the work.
   
   
4. There are still some vacancies, among others: a manager for our Johannesburg campus, a senior lecturer and a manager for our Honours programme as well as for the Masters programme that we will facilitate from July onwards. Pray that the Lord will send the right people to Mukhanyo.
   
   
5. Our Distance groups continue throughout. Pray that they will persevere in their studies and that it will be a great blessing to them.
   
   
6. On Monday 1 February the Academic Committee will meet. This committee consists of all those who are part of academic management. All the various aspects of the training are discussed there and decided on and they need wisdom to ensure the quality of MTC’s training on the academic, but also on the spiritual level.
   
   
7. Student mentorship will also start during February. Please pray that students will be confident to share what is on their hearts and these weekly sessions will proof to be a great blessing to them. Also pray for wisdom for the mentors to know how to deal with each student.
   
   
8. On Tuesday 9 February the Staff Forum will be held. Pray for unity among our staff and that each one will perform his or her duties whole-heartedly as for the Lord and not for people.
   
   
9. Thank the Lord for our precious intercessors and donors! Without them we would, humanly speaking, not been able to enter this new year and continue with the ministry. We realise they have their own needs and challenges that they are facing and it is our prayer that they may also experience the Lord’s provision, guidance and blessing!

Thank you very much for praying together with us.
