Each week through 2026, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for the same territory or region of The Salvation Army. Prayer requests are shared by the territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (9-15 November) we pray for the Kenya East Territory.

This territory has 935 officers (847 active, 88 retired); 47 Aux-Captains; 38 Cadets; 54 Envoys; 547 corps; 287 outposts; 97,076 senior soldiers; 614 adherents; 60,946 junior soldiers; 124 employees.

Commissioners Samuel and Theresa Baah lead the territory.

The work of the Kenya East Territory includes:

Education
Supporting disabled people
Food security
Modern slavery and human trafficking response.

Young people worshipping at the recent Harvest Festival; the Nairobi 'Investors' economic empowerment program; the Proclaimers of Transformation session of cadets.

Praise:

We praise God for a successful Women's Ministries three-day rally in Sulutani Division (31 July-2 August). More than 3000 women were in attendance. We thank God because the program was spiritually rich with praise and worship, prayer sessions and inspirational messages which were prepared to encourage all women. Women benefited from educational sessions on financial literacy, business start-up skills, health and human rights, and domestic violence. We thank the leadership for finding experienced facilitators.
We praise God for a successful Men Trust Fund which took place in July 2026 at Thika Territorial Hall, and the encouraging contribution both spiritually and financially of men to the church in our territory.
We praise God for a successful one-day Territorial Junior Soldiers Rally which was organised at Thika Territorial Hall in August 2026. Around 2000 young people from the thirty-one commands were in attendance. They participated in a Bible challenge from the book of Luke and a Bible recitation competition, and they were tested on their knowledge about child protection among other activities. We thank God for such a special event in our territory and the opportunity given to our young people to be nurtured in a Christian way, and to be helped to grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer requests:

We pray for the spiritual growth of all Salvationists as we continue to explore the territorial theme, ‘To be like Jesus’ (Philippians 2:5), during our weekly Bible study sessions. Our desire is that all Salvationists will know Jesus, behave like Jesus and be like Jesus in word, thought and deed.
We pray for the success of all activities and events in the remaining part of the year in our corps, commands, social institutions and in our communities, and that God will receive all the glory in all that we do.
We pray for the success of the Territorial Harvest Festival, and that God would grant all Salvationists safe travel and financial breakthrough. We pray for the program and the message of the day, and that God would speak to us in a special way.
We pray for the wellbeing of all active and retired officers and their families, all Salvationists and all employees. May God grant them good health both spiritually and physically.
We pray for peace, harmony and political stability in our country ahead of the 2027 general elections.
