Prayer Request For My Daughter As She Commences Her Mission To Kenya

4Feb2012

[ConorMacNessa]

Dear Friends,

I request your prayers at this time for my daughter Mary as she embarks on a six-month mission to Kenya. This mission is under the auspices of her Alma Mater, St. Joseph’s University, and involves working with orphans and other children affected by the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

She is departing from Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia on Friday, February 10. Her mother and I are very proud of the work she has undertaken in Africa. She has already completed service trips to Tanzania and Kenya, each of two weeks duration. At the same time, I don’t mind telling you that both her mother and I are fearful of the danger she may face over there. I sent her numerous articles regarding Islamic persecution of Christians in Kenya and requested that she reconsider her plans. However, she is adamant in her intent to undertake this mission.

She has received the blessing of our parish on her mission – the parish gave her a stipend to defray the expenses of her trip.

We are committed Christians who recognize the duty of the faithful to Witness the immutable Truth of God. We are resigned to her undertaking this mission as one to which she has been called. We request your prayers for the success of her mission. We request your prayers for the innocent children of Kenya whom she goes to serve. We request your prayers for her safe return at the conclusion of her mission.

Mary in Kenya, 2011

THE MEMORARE

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.



Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I join you in prayer for Mary’s mission trip to Kenya. May Jesus shine through her to the people of Kenya.

We are praying for your daughter that she will be in God’s hand and that He will bless and keep her well and safe in her time there. May she be blessed for the work she is doing. “How beautiful are the feet of those that bring Good News”!

Our son is doing a 2 year mission in Nepal, will not be back until October of this year. So from parents that understand the time before you, we pray for you as well.

Blessings, OKC Patriot

Oh, how proud you have to be! God Bless Mary and keep her safe, let her bring comfort to the afflicted children, and bring her back safely to her mom and dad.

I will add Mary, you and your wife to my daily prayer list. And, yes, she IS beautiful, too!

Kenya is close to 85% Christian. Muslims are few and far between.

Prayers sent! What a rewarding thing to be doing.

Sorry but she’ll get my prayers when she does the same in the U S namely Memphis or Detroit.

Thank you so much for the outpouring of prayer for my daughter as she embarks upon this mission. Mrs.MacNessa and I are truly moved by your answer to our Prayer Request. As some of you have requested, we will update with news of her mission as and when it becomes available.

Again, our sincere thanks for your prayers.

"Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are people better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friends?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God."

Alfred Lord Tennyson
