Communication is a two way process of creating transmition and interprating
ideas facts, opinions, and feeling that they are clear and can be understood. It
include having feedback from the receiver. Effective communication means that
the receiver correctly interprates the message of the acts accordingly.
There is interfearings occuring as you move on staff holders, different prayer
partners and the co-odinators of the prayer group.
One language is needed as the group communication comes from communis, it means
common understanding.

3:30pm 6:00 pm Crusade which Siloamu choir interdaint ewith powerful songs us
the holy spirit leads them. Pastor peter Juma prayed for the sick and job
seekers, 60 people came to know the Lord this day.
8.00 - 8:30 Devotion conducted by Pastor Robert Nabiswa from
the book of Act 3:20
8:30 - 10:00 what is intercessory prayer?
Intercessory prayer is holy spirit inpired prayer, and it is the prayer that
reaches the very Throne room of God.
How do we pray such a prayer? What words do we use? What is Gods perfect will in
the situation? I know for myself there are many times when Iam at a loss for
words and I dont know what to pray for so I asked the holy spirit for words to
help me, acccording to his word.
Likewise the spirit also helped our infirmities for we dont know what we should
pray for as we ought, but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be ulttered. And he that serches the heart knoweth that
is the mind of spirit , because he maketh intercession for the saints according
to the will of God (Romans 8.26-27)
There are times when you will feel burden to pray but you wo’nt know what the
problem is and dont know what the prayer is for. This is the holy spirit
prompting you to pray. When we know that he can depend on you, that you are
commited and willing to let go for your own feelings and put the needs of others
first, He will surely use you, at these time you will be led to pray in the
spirit until the burden is lifted. You may never know who or what you are
praying for but be assured that warfare has taken place and somewhere a victory
is own.
How do we know the will for God? Through his word the bible. For instance, we
know that it is God’s will to heal, Bishop Wanyonyi told the Pastors prayer net
group that I bless the Lord my soul and forget not all his benefits who
forgiveth all thine eniquities; who healeth all the diseases (Psalm 103:3-4) The
more scripture you will know the will of God. Keep your Bible with you when you
pray in it are all the answer to your questions.
Intercessory prayer brings you to the place where you realise you must let go of
self and yur own precoceived ideas to allow the holy spirit to have its way in
the persons life. When we totally release a person and his situation into Gods
hands, we allow God to do what needs to be done. Sometimes things have to get
worse before they can get better. For instance if you are praying for someone
with alcohol or drug problem to be set free that person might have to reach
bottom before he can be free.
ENCOURAGING AND SHARING NPPN KENYA PASTORS AND CORPARATE GOVERNANCE.
Good board governance cant be legislated, but it can be over
time, our bets for success.
Share important information with directors in time for them to
read and digest it. Rotate board members through small pastors prayer groups
and committees so they spend time together meeting key NPPN personel and
inspecting of PPG sites work to climate paralising factors.
If you are the CEO dont punish mavericks or dissenters, even
if they are sometimes pain int he neck. Dissenters is not the same thing as
disloyalty. Use your own restance as an aopportunity to learn. Proper silent
board members for their oppinions.
10.00-10.30 After tea break on 20.4.2003
Bishop Emanuel teach about co-perate governance is to manage the process of a
group of people and the resource that is coming in the group.

21.4.2003 : OBSTACLES TO PRAYER FROM 8.00 TO 10.30
Even the most mature christians will sometimes feel that their
prayers are “hitting the wall” there are several things which can hinder our
prayers life. Such as unconfessed sin or broken relationships. David said in
the Psalms 66:18 “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not here me” .
It is therefore very important to spent quite time with the Lord before we pray
and excuse ourselves. We need to confess any sin in our life that has become a
barrier between us and our father. After we have confessed our sin and repented
of it, our fellowship with our father is restored and we can then pray in
confidence that he hears us. David went on to say in verse 20, blessed be God
who has not turned away my prayers, nor his mercy from me” praise God.
Broken fellowship with others can also hinder our prayers, therefore if thou
bring the gift to alter, and there remembered that the brother hath ought
against thee, leave there the gift before the alter, and go the way, first be
reconciled to the brother and then come and open the gift (matt 5:23-24)

historical records for example, I had so much and spent it in the following ways
from here we are able to know our position as far as assets and liabilities are
concerned.
Financial management in the church or groups , however , involves looking at
the bigger picture at hand the level we consider planning , controlling and
decide how best it facilitates the acceptable application of financial (or other
) assets in the church /groups. Prudent accounting and sound financial
management are to be found at the core of good stewardship . which is one of the
critical aspects to meaningful worship the lord with your substance .
There are a number of basic consideration in being an effective finance manager
in the group .
Agree on the plan and priorities of the organization in advance .
Keep good records of income and expenditure
Keeping good record involves developing in accounting system , no matter how
rudimentary!
Finance should be view as supporting then overall vision of the group.
