STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR LEADERS

More than 50 Christian leaders will attend a one day strategic planning workshop presented by international speaker, Gary Schwammlein on Friday 8 February here in Windhoek.

This workshop is using the widely acclaimed Patterson strategic planning process, called StratOp, a planning tool that has shown its value in diverse organizations and cultures.

The StratOp process guides leaders to clarify mission, vision, and core strategies—and then to create the right structure and accountability to realize it through prioritized action initiatives.

Pray for leaders as they focus on:

• Clarity of vision
• Creativity and new ideas
• Alignment and unity
• Focus on what is most important
• Increased performance and minimized waste

Namibia continues to need qualified leaders. Trust God that He will fill the gap with the right men and women.

And the Lord answered me: 

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, 

so he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2 ESV

LEADERS WHO TRANSFORM AFRICA

 

The African Leadership Institute  (ALI) has the ambition to equip and develop leaders to transform Africa.

The development of leadership is necessary to address the challenges of Africa - corruption, crime, poverty, HIV/Aids, unemployment, lack of certain specialized skills and the fact that many are struggling with inferiority and lack of economic freedom. Here in Namibia we need strong leaders to reach the goals of Government as set out in Vision 2030.

The teaching staff of the African Leadership Institute have a heavy teaching load with several schools and week-end seminars running at this time. They asked for your prayers. Please pray for -

• Energy, wisdom and endurance for the teaching staff.
• Staff and students to experience God as their source of strength.
• Trainers to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit as they teach and leave the results in His hands.
• Students to know themselves, their God-given calling and responsibilities.
• Young leaders to accept ownership of their responsibilities and the challenges of Namibia.
• Students with strong characters who can excel under pressure of positions, failures and success.

Pray the ALI will produce the kind of leaders

 the God needs in Namibia at this time.

THE BIG C in NAMIBIA

Many people see cancer as the big C. Believers see Christ as the Big C.

World Cancer Day is Monday  - 4 February 2013.

According to the Cancer Association of Namibia –

• Approximately 47% of cancer cases occur in less developed regions of the world.
• With the right strategies, a third of most common cancers can be prevented.
• Many cancers can now be cured and can be treated effectively.
• Cancer is becoming an increasing public health problem.

Let us intercede 

• For the work of the Cancer Association of Namibia - the task to spread information to the rural areas of this large country is a huge challenge.
• Pray for the church, that they will also come along side the Cancer Association to help inform their flock about the what, who and how of cancer. (see www.can.org.na)
• Pray that both patients and believers will understand the disease and put their trust in the healing power of the Lord.

Your faith has made you well. Luke 8:48

I am the LORD, who heals you. Exodus 15:26

He forgives all my sins. He heals me. Psalms 103:3

Prayer

O Lord, even as I suffer from my illness, I believe in your might. Even as I am besieged by armies of pain, I seek refuge in you. Help me to feel your presence even more firmly in my life. Give me courage to face anything, to endure everything with you by my side, that I may bless your Holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise (Jeremiah 17:13-15) Amen
