Prayer for Kenya

Our mission is to guide families in the development of their children as lifelong students and servants of God's diverse world. In keeping with this, we are joining in prayer and fasting for the current crisis in Kenya.

Our Head of School, Melissa Perkins, and her husband, Steve, attend Grace Community Church, which partners with Nairobi Chapel and Mavuno Church in Kenya. During the week of March 2-9, Grace Church and the families of Vita Nova will be praying for Kenya and specifically for the pastors that will begin to caravan to five cities in Kenya on March 7. Over 1,000 people have died in the recent political and tribal violence, and over 600,000 have lost their homes.

Even though Kenya is far away, our students and families can reach out to this country by praying for the peace of Christ that passes all understanding to come upon the people, by praying for reconciliation among those at war, and by praying that the light and truth of Jesus will shine through the pastors as they journey to these ravaged cities.
