In the final chapel of the term, Pastor Isaac Makashinyi preached on "The Prayer of Faith: Its Effectiveness" from James 5:13–20 (ESV). James closes his letter with practical instructions, calling believers to a life anchored in prayer—whether in suffering or rejoicing. He emphasises the need for mutual care through confession, restoration, and a commitment to one another. This passage reflects James' broader message of a living, active faith demonstrated in daily life. Believers are reminded that the prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. Faithful, practical Christianity, according to James, involves worship in all seasons, the pursuit of healing and wholeness, and the ministry of restoring those who stray. The message concluded with a call for the church to be a true community—one that welcomes confession, upholds the power of prayer, walks together in faith, and reflects Christ in its fellowship.
