dc.description.abstractKarura Adventist School offers a holistic approach to education integrating faith and learning. The school admits adherents of the SDA church and other religions, giving opportunity to all who qualify for admission both from the Republic of Kenya and other countries. Though it is a Christian school, just like many institutions, the school has been experiencing a spasmodic prayer life. In addition, as a result of having a diverse population of different religious backgrounds, many of the students have different ideas on prayers. Most have an inconsistent prayer pattern. The spasmodic prayer life affects both the academic and spiritual performance, as observed in the year 2011-2012. Thus the study on a model of a vibrant and effective prayer. This is aimed at enlightening on the various components of effective prayer as outlined in the Bible and various sources of prayer, as well as on the specific chronological order. Ultimately, the study introduces prayer as an important element, necessary to produce a people of positive influence on the immediate society and on the world at large. The study used a questionnaire method of data collection. This helped to identify existing prayer patterns and programs in the school, the effectiveness of the programs as well as providing a more solid perspective on how to cater for the various spiritual needs of the school. The study showed that most of the respondents need encouragement in giving preference and participation in the prayer program. The analysis enabled us to propose a prayer model, which helped usher people in prayer through a prayer session in a systematic way, that involves active and conscious participation of everyone involved.en_US
