Pray for DOVE Kenya

Hesbone & Violet Odindo
DOVE Kenya Apostolic Team leaders

The Kenya Apostolic Team members are Ibrahim and Diane Omondi, Charles and Rose Wanyama, and James and Truphosa Mwendwa. Pray for a release of more leaders for the Kenya council, particularly those with prophetic and teaching anointing. At the onset of this year, the LORD gave us a word; “A YEAR OF GREATNESS AND MIRACLES.”

In the midst of our vision for this year, our economy has been on a downward spiral which has led to collapse of businesses, loss of jobs, rise in inflation and taxes! That has affected the church financially a lot and we need the LORD’s intervention!

Pray for:

• We are trusting the Lord for at least five new church plants this year. And also a birthing of more pastors and leaders in the regions of our nation.
• We are planning for conferences in the Eastern and Lake regions, a Ladies Conference, a Youth Conference, a Leaders Training on the Prophetic and the Role of the Elders. We need the Father’s provision to realize all these plans in Jesus name
