Mukhanyo Prayer and Praise - December 2020 and January 2021

“For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.” (2 Samuel 22:32-34)

​
December! The last month of the year – a year that was very different. What can we say? Many suffered hardships, losses and pain, but for the believer there is the comfort: God is our rock and our strong refuge and He guides us. He brought us safe thus far and will lead us safely Home! Here at Mukhanyo the academic year is drawing to an end. Our hearts are filled with gratitude towards the Lord and we gladly share the following points with you for prayer and praise!

1. We thank the Lord for His hand over Mukhanyo and His wonderful provision during 2020. He provided in many ways and apart from the initial lockdown, we could continue with the ministry of training church leaders for ministry. Praise His Name!
   
   
2. Thank the Lord with us for the conference for church leaders and alumni that was held on Saturday 14 November. It was very well attended and blessed by the Lord.
   
   
3. Although we are approaching the end of the year, the first few weeks of December will still be pretty busy with the following on the programme:
   1. Tuesday 1 to Thursday 3 December – the last exams to be written by the students.
   2. Tuesday 1 December – Executive Management meeting.
   3. Tuesday 8 December – Post moderation meeting for Faculty.
   4. Thursday 10 December – Assessment meeting.
   5. Thursday 10 December – Academic Committee meeting.
   6. Friday 11 December – Year end function for all staff
   7. Friday 18 December – MTC offices close.
      
      
4. Please pray for all the preparations for the new academic year that are well underway. Those include: completing the teaching schedule, planning for the opening day in January, planning for registration as well as for orientation at the various campuses / advanced learning centres.
   
   
5. Our staff and students will enjoy a well-deserved rest after a strenuous year. Pray that the Lord will bless them during this time, give them a safe and peaceful break, make them witnesses for Him among (in some cases non-believing) family members and that they will return refreshed and encouraged.
   
   
6. The following in currently on the calendar for January:
   1. Monday 4 January – office re-opens.
   2. Monday 11 January – official opening day with times of Devotions and Staff Vision.
   3. Tuesday 12 to Thursday 14 January – Orientation for contact students.
   4. Monday 18 January – Registration for all contact students.
   5. Tuesday 19 January – Classes start.
