Going Virtual! If you read our recent newsletter you may have seen that AFM is going virtual with our annual training for firefighters! So far we have over 350 registered and that number is growing! Our training starts on November 16th at 1AM Eastern (8AM East Africa Time) we will have over 14 countries and 7 time zones between the US and Africa that we will be working from and juggling. We have nearly 20 instructors and we are ALL learning google classroom.

Here are some specific prayer requests for #afmvirtual2020

Please pray for our participants and instructors over the next week that we will be patient with each other and show God’s love and as minister to them and teach them!

Pray that we will be about to provide empowerment, support and encouragement as we train - even through this virtual platform.

Please pray that we will be able to support the firefighters through our new course on Firefighter Mental Health. Firefighters are at high risk for mental health struggles - and in Africa it is no different. Please pray that through our course firefighters will feel supported by us and by God. Pray they will feel His healing power as they participate in the course.

As COVID-19 pandemic continues pray for all Emergency Repsonders around the world and their health. Pray that they will be able to have the stamina to continue under these new requirements and that they will be able to serve well.

We are working in collaboration with Polish Aid to formalize some of our curriculum for technical training accreditation in Kenya. Pray for that collaboration.

Finally, please pray for our implementation of Project Hand-Up. We are excited to get fire prevention materials into the homes of children throughout Kenya and then beyond Kenya!
