3 Pray for the Zambian teams who are hosting the confer-

ence. Those who are responsi-ble for accommodation, meals, and conference venue.

4 Birthday: Senti comes from Nagaland. He is busy with

the Hospitality and Tourism Training.

5 Pray for Neels de Jager who has to organise the pro-

gramme for the staff and for the children. Ask God to make His plans for the conference known to the leaders and to prepare the hearts of the staff for what God wants to reveal to the FCE body.

6 For the next two days the co-ordinators of the Disciple-

ship Mission Training Advanced gather to re-evaluate the course material and the curriculum. Our aim with this course is to equip missionaries to be effec-tive on the mission field.

7. Ask God to protect us against any plans of the en-

emy to steal from what the Lord has in store for all of us at the conference. Pray that our hearts and minds will stay focused on Him only.

8 Gert Basson and the King’s Highway Hospitality Team meet

to plan strategically for 2013. Gert and his family are going to manage the King’s Highway Guesthouse in Somerset West during 2013, while Riëtte Cilliers will be free to spend time at the different King’s High-ways locations in Namibia, Zambia and Malawi.

9. Today is the official opening of FCE’s bi-annual staff

conference. We are before the Lord with an expectation in our hearts that God will reveal Himself to us, minister to us and prepare us through His Word and His Holy Spirit for the com-ing year.

10 Ask God to protect us against any ailments,

accidents and especially malaria during this time so that all of us can pay our undivided attention to and be actively involved in the programme.

11 Corrie v.d. Westhuizen recently has been diag-

nosed with breast cancer. This came as a huge blow to them as a family and to all of us. Pres-ently they are in Canada where she is undergoing tests and medical examinations. Cry out to the Lord for her healing.

12. Pray for Corrie’s parents, Glen and Erma Whetter

from Canada, and Jaco’s parents, Izak and Elise v.d. Westhuizen, from Carnarvon. Ask God to give them His peace and to strengthen them during this time of uncertainty.

13 Pray for Jaco and Corries’ children Danielle (4 yr),

James (2 yr) and Kallie Lee (6 months). Ask God to bind them together as a family and to shelter them in His love.

14 Pray for the children of the staff. Many of them

are teenagers now and at times they struggle to find their place in the FCE body. Pray that the Lord will protect His calling on their lives and that this confer-ence will give them an under-standing of God’s calling on their parents’ lives.

15 Today is the conclusion of the conference. We have

experienced a closeness with Jesus on the mountain top and now we need to return to the valley. Ask God that all of us will leave with an urgency to bring the Nations into God’s Kingdom by proclaiming Jesus as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

16 Fifteen staff members and students are leaving

for Thailand. For months God has prepared them to go on the Golden Triangle, through His grace He provided for them, now is the time to step out in faith to be broken bread and crushed vines for those who seek God.

17 Birthday: John ChitamboPray for him as he has

to make important decisions in regards to his future.

18 Staff and students are on holiday visiting family and

friends. Ask God to bless their fellowship and to strengthen re-lationships. Pray that the Spirit of Christ in them will reflect in their visits, talks and fun times.

19 Some of the staff need to stay at the different

training centres to keep the daily activities running. Christine Kleynhaus will continue with the daily tasks at the office at Koti ni Eden.

20Pray for God’s blessing on the two biltong shops, the

biltong factory in Tulbagh that provides the stock, and the dif-ferent guesthouses. Pray for the staff who manages our business during the festive season. May the way they serve the clients and the guest be a testimony.

21 Continue to pray for the group who is travelling

on the Golden Triangle. They are on a tight budget, ask God to protect them, to use them and to provide in all their needs. Their aim is to call in the nations – ask God to direct them to those who are seeking God.

22 Neels are back after two months in Europe. The

Lord directed his ways and the outflow of his visits are seen in the people who are coming to FCE to be trained, to serve as volunteers, to take responsibility of projects and to be challenged to GO!!!!

23 Birthday: Elma du Toit is involved as a lecturer at

the Teacher Training College and the Discipleship Courses.

24 Piet and Elma are moving to Zambia to assist Anita

Grobler as the plans are to incor-porate all FCE training under the umbrella of the Training College and not only the training of teachers. Pray that God will give us wisdom for this challenge.

25 For unto us a CHILD is born, Unto us a Son is

given: And His name will be called: Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6 -7)

26 Ndanji, Brian and Barbara’s daughter, is cel-

ebrating Christmas in Australia far away from home. Some of our staff members and the volunteers from abroad are also far away from family and friends. Ask God to comfort them.

27 Some of FCE’s staff children prepare to

change schools in 2013. Pray for Carel Nel, Annika Pretorius and Andrea Bezuidenhout. Gert and Janine need to find a school for Amy and Daniel in Somerset West.

28 Joe and Aletta are on their way to join Moses

and Regina at the Training Cen-tre in Malawi. Pray for unity, for establishing sound relationships, and for openess to the guidance of the Spirit of the Lord as they seek to serve the people of Malawi.

29 Sixteen students applied to do the 3 months Disciple-

ship-Mission Training in Wolseley in January. Pray for them as they prepare to leave their homes, their countries, their work to be obedi-ent to God. Ask God to provide in their financial needs and to meet their spiritual needs during the course.

30 Praise the Lord for all the souls that once were lost

but now are found through the efforts of FCE and our prayer supporters. Thank Him for giv-ing us the nations so that we can make disciples of Jesus Christ and prepare them to go and preach the gospel.

31 FCE is blessed because of the prayer supporters

who believe in our calling, who are willing to serve us in many ways, who take co-responsibility for the vision and for your undi-vided loyalty and support. God bless you all!!! Thank you
