They arrived at the site late at night but were safe through the protection of the almighty God

They all got a place to sleep comfortably throughout the mission 

There were safe and enough washrooms for all missionaries.

Hanging lines we provided 

In terms of health, most people complained of stomach upset. They were given activated charcoal and it helped just a few.

Some members got sick which made it difficult for them to take part in regular activities as the rest. Maureen had kidney problem and Deborah had back problems. All we could do was pray with them and allow them rest since we couldn't provide medication.

In terms of food, missionaries were well fed. Food was properly prepared and served. Those with special diets were also taken care of.

Clean water was available for the two weeks, both for drinking and washing.

            Challenges

OBJECTIVES

To ensure that all members are involved in the prayer sessions during the devotions, open air sessions, during prayer and fasting days and also in the prayer band teams.

To motivate people on how essential prayer is and that it's not limited to a specific group of people.

ABSTRACT

Under the prayer department, the sessions have been running well irregardless of a few hiccups here and there. Most members cooperated well to ensure that all the prayer sessions ran well without any problem and this, I believe, also contributed to the success of the mission. During the two weeks, we ran on a program- based schedule which enable the missionaries to participate well by getting prepared in time and also mentally.

The program during the two weeks was as follows;

• Daily devotions- every morning and evening which was led by the appointed person.
• Prayer band- All the missionaries participated in the prayer band. The visitation groups were formed as prayer cells which was used as prayer bands on duty every day i.e 2 groups were chosen per day to be prayer bands on duty. Waking time was 30min before the normal waking time.
• Open air sessions- prayer band on duty( per visitation groups) ensured that there is constant prayers during the open air sessions after every 15mins.
• Prayer and fasting sessions- members were appointed to help in the same, on different prayers e.g Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication and Intercession.
• Prayer night( Thursday evening)- It was organized per prayer cells and their waking time. Each prayer cell had 1hr of prayer in the night and it went down upto the normal waking time of that day.

N/B: Prayer bex was a necessity, where the missionaries dropped their requests in faith. The requests were prayed for every morning and evening till the end of the mission, which it was then burnt in hymns.

ACHIEVEMENTS

The objectives were met at a larger percentage and I'm grateful to God for that.

CHALLENGES 

Few individuals failed to attend the morning and evening devotion

Few people were available during the open air sessions, and this somehow interfered with the open air prayer sessions, moreso during the early hours.

RECOMMENDATION 

I recommend that if possible, all missionaries should always participate in the devotions because it's essential, not only to the mission, but also to a personal spiritual growth.

SUMMARY 

Above all things, I thank God for the strength He has given me through the 2 weeks. I thank all the site leaders and missionaries for the unity and enthusiasm they have shown in the two weeks. All these has led to the success of the Mission. Let's still commit the new Borns in prayer and the Sabbath school, that they may find it joy to serve in God's vineyard.

Thank you and may God bless you.

Meru Mission Ntiba Site Report on Distribution of Discover Guides and Gundua.

Introduction

This document aims to record the individuals who received Discover Guides and Gundua, along with their contact details and the specific guides provided. The guides were available in both Kiswahili and English. 

Challenges Faced

1. Language Barrier: Some individuals struggled to understand the guides due to language differences.
2. Reluctance by Missionaries: Missionaries hesitated to distribute guides addressing advanced topics, such as prophecies, as they felt these were too complex for beginners.
3. Lack of Knowledge: Many missionaries were unsure about and some neglected the proper procedures for distributing the guides, including collecting names and contact information.
4. Unsuitable Topics: Certain topics were not ideal for beginners or those transitioning from other churches as stated by the missionaries distributing them.
5. Unutilized Guides: Some missionaries could leave the site without picking the guides i.e., they neglect the importance of guide to clients.
6. Burden of Handling Guides: The large volume of guides made management difficult.

Recommendations

1. Education for the Literature Team: Provide comprehensive training for the literature team to understand the process fully. For instance, as this was my first time, I found it challenging to manage certain aspects.
2. Missionary Training: Train missionaries on the importance of the literature guides and how to effectively distribute them to avoid wastage of guides given out or guides remaining on site.
3. Gradual Distribution: Disburse guides in small quantities if possible. Sites should request additional guides once they have distributed the given portion.
4. Equipping Missionaries: Encourage missionaries to familiarize themselves with the content of the guides to improve their confidence and effectiveness in distribution and this helps them know what they ae giving out.
5. Detailed Record-Keeping: Emphasize the importance of collecting detailed records, including names and contact information, at the earliest opportunity.

Achievements

1. Timely Receipt of Funds 

The funds allocated for the activities were received on time, ensuring that all planned activities could proceed as scheduled.

2. Structured Disbursement

 The funds were distributed in two installments, allowing for effective cash flow management 

Challenges

1.Insufficient Funds

The total amount received was not enough to cover all planned expenses, particularly for the final day's activities.

2. Additional Contributions Required

 To meet the budget for the last day, site members had to contribute additional funds, which posed a challenge for us

Recommendations

1.Increased Budget Allocation 

Future funding requests should reflect a more accurate estimate of the total costs to avoid shortfalls.

2. Contingency Planning

 Establish a contingency fund to cover unexpected expenses, ensuring that all activities can be carried out as planned.

3. Transparent Communication i.e allow the Treasurer to know if there will be a second Disbursement for proper planning
