only Lord and Saviour. Amen

Almighty and everlasting God, who desires that all may be saved, the harvest
is plentiful but labourers are few. Send more labourers into the
field. Men and women, who will yield unconditionally to your divine service. And

draw all men unto him.
Grant that these labourers shall be vessels unto honour in your hands,

knowledge of you will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea and the
kingdoms of the world become your Kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Anglican Church of Kenya
Too often we are without love, ungracious, foolish and wondering in darkness. We
live in our own confusion and it is a cold fearsome place. Lift our
eyes to your son, the Christ of Calvary, in all his stark loneliness that
we might know the sweetness of being forgiven, the fragrance of being accepted,
the power of being set free for service, the joy of being strengthened
in faith. In the warm fellowship of your people awakened by the Holy
Spirit, refresh us and renew us, challenge us and change us that, resting
in the warm cradle of our Father's love, we may be channels of the love,
grace, wisdom and light of the Lord Jesus, that his kingdom may be displayed
and his Church re-created through him who served in humility and reigns
in glory ever Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
