Prayer 6:49 is a prayer initiative of Kenyan Schools of Hope and the Ewuaso Osiligi Center (EOC) that aims to build a network of people around the world who will pray regularly for God to work through this ministry and in the lives of the rescued girls, their families and communities, and the staff who support them.


Each evening the rescued girls at the EOC gather for devotions and prayer. They have set aside Thursdays, in particular, to pray for the ministry, their sponsors, and the many people who support the center and serve in various ways. We invite you to join hands with us in prayer whenever you pray, but especially in real time on Thursdays at 6:49 p.m. Kenya time/10:49 a.m. CDT when the girls are praying for you. Together we can lift up the EOC and the rescued girls before the Lord.

 

"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16

Prayer requests

Give thanks to the Lord that He has provided sponsors for the 90+ girls in our care, for His many blessings, and for providing for the ministry.

Praise God for the good year-end 2025 test results for grade 9 students at Ewuaso Osiligi School.


Please pray with us that God would continue to bless this ministry and that we would be able to provide a safe place for children, especially girls at risk of FGM and FEM, to learn and grow. Pray also for:

  • The school and rescue center—that they would be a beacon of hope for the students and the surrounding communities, with many coming to know Jesus as their Savior,
  • The rescued girls and other students—that they would perform well in school and grow in knowledge and faith,
  • Favorable and speedy rulings for all rescued girls awaiting placement at the EOC and for people to sponsor them,
  • God to guide the EOC and KSOH boards as they make decisions for the ministry, especially as they make plans for some of the first girls who are graduating from high school and transitioning to university or vocational school and more independent living,
  • The hiring of staff for the new school year and for God to provide excellent teachers at Osiligi Center schools for 2026,
  • God's wisdom and guidance in ongoing growth and maintenance of campus infrastructure and for project planning and decision-making, in particular, for water supply projects that may involve partnering with the local community and government, for all involved parties to make and honor necessary agreements, and for safety in construction and implementation,
  • Sustainability for the ministry, including staffing, funding, a growing endowment, and reliable food and water,
  • Catherine (Director) and the EOC Board, especially for strength and guidance to handle all the tasks and needs of the EOC,
  • God to strengthen and guide the people worshiping at the rescue center and the new congregation established at Mai Mahiu,
  • Deacon Nguku as he leads the spiritual training of the students at the Osiligi Primary and Junior Secondary School, and
  • Rain to continue in the Ewuaso area and for continued recovery from recent droughts.
