GIS' Urgent Call to Prayer

Recently a document was sent to our school office informing us that GIS was obligated to turn over the management and deeds of the school to the legal association of the neighbourhood where the school is situated. November 30 is the deadline before the school faces legal action. Consequently, the school is coveting prayers from everyone. Below is a plea to join the GIS Board of Trustees in prayer as they meet up with the people involved to come to an agreement so that GIS can stay where it is. Please pray with us. Thank you.

A CALL TO URGENT PRAYER

The only reason we are here is to be a witness for Christ. Our heart’s desire and earnest prayer is that we would act and react in a Christ-like manner. Those who are charged with the governance of GIS are trying to find the course of action that would glorify Him the most. We want every action to be under His direction. Will you be a partner in prayer? The school and foundation boards meet on October 5. There are many things that we neither know nor understand and find hard to accept. “Why?” immediately surfaces. Whose fault is it? Who is to blame? We can ask every question in our heart before the Lord. He has told us to come boldly before Him. Recent research on that word “boldly” revealed that it comes from two words, “all” and “speech”—unreservedness of utterance. We are trying to tell God anything and everything and get it all “off our chests”. We are listening. We know that He speaks to us and gives us wisdom. We will know what to do. We want to worship and praise Him and be present to His Presence. We want His Power to be released through us and experience His Peace. We want to become ever increasing channels of His Agape love that reaches those whom He loves. Like—everyone! “May your praise fill our hearts and be on the lips of every one of us in the Grace community. Your kingdom come, your will be done. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
