Lifewords' online prayer space

Our work in Kenya

Lifewords work in Kenya comprises of Bible-based programmes in schools, churches, and community spaces, creating safe and relevant environments where children, young people, and families can explore Scripture, reflect on its message, and apply its truth to everyday life. These engagements nurture spiritual growth, build resilience, and strengthen identity, especially among the younger generation.

“True impact of Scripture is realised not only in its distribution, but in its meaningful engagement within the lives of individuals and communities,” says Clara Ngobolia, Lifewords Kenya Director. “Our calling goes beyond placing God’s Word into hands – we are committed to seeing it take root in hearts and inspire lasting transformation.”

The first half of this year saw over 15,000 Bible resources being used by partners in Kenya, DRC Congo, Uganda and Zimbabwe, including in remote communities, by churches and community programmes, and in rural villages and schools. Resources were also used in schools through Choose Life, RISE Bible clubs, and secondary school rallies in partnership with Kingdom Connection Youth.

“We give thanks to God for the open doors, partnerships, and impact,” says Clara. “We press on in our calling to make God’s Word available – trusting that it will continue to bring change, hope, and transformation wherever it is shared.”

Give thanks for the work of Lifewords in Kenya – for the Lifewords team, and for the many partnerships with individuals, churches and organisations.

Pray that as people read Lifewords resources that they would be impacted by the message of the Bible – that they would experience hope and transformation in their lives.

Preparing for Advent and Christmas

As we move into autumn, churches, schools, and communities are preparing for Advent and Christmas, planning services, events and outreach. Join us as we pray for ourselves and others as we turn our hearts to welcoming others at Christmas.

Give thanks for the opportunity we have to reach others with God’s love at Christmas. Pray that we would be open to creative ways of welcoming people into our lives, families, churches and communities as we approach Christmas.

Pray for churches as they plan their Christmas events. Pray that church leaders and congregations would be bursting with creativity and compassion to welcome people in, and reach out beyond the church walls – offering hope, love and new life.

Pray for community projects and social outreach. Christmas is often a time where cities and churches work together to reach the poor, vulnerable and marginalised. Pray for these groups as they plan and mobilise people and resources. Pray that as people work together cities would be transformed by love.

Visit our Christmas page to find out how you can reach others with the Bible this Christmas and Advent.

Thank you for praying and giving

We are excited to report that we have received £106,000 in response to our urgent action campaign – thank you for giving!

Alongside the financial gifts it has been so encouraging to know that you are praying for Lifewords – thank you. We have also heard from so many of you in letters, emails, and telephone calls – all telling us how much this ministry means to you, and how much you care.

We’ve also had responses and gifts from churches, like Bethel Free Church in New Wortley in Leeds, who not only gave us a gift, but told us why and how our resources were so important in their outreach to their community where they were.

Give thanks for the funds that have been raised so far, and for the words of encouragement and affirmation.

Pray that we would hit our target of £150,000.

Pray for Lifewords as it moves into the next chapter and takes on the challenges in the world around us, and for our new Lifebringers campaign.
