Ruth Newell requests
prayer for a children’s mission being held
9th-14th July. She
will have the help of a team of young people from South
Africa. Please pray
for safety of travel for the team, for people to become
sincere Christians, and for effective follow-up after the
mission team leaves.
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
It is Bible Week for African
brethren, when Zulu men gather together for one week of
intensive Bible study. Paul
and Dorothy Grieve say that each year it is a time of
rich fellowship, so please
pray that it will again be a time of blessing,
encouragement and challenge.
JAPAN
Ken and Christine Cowell give thanks that five
believers were baptised last weekend. Also, next Sunday, a
middle-aged man is to be baptised and
prayer is requested
that unbelievers will attend this meeting.
BOLIVIA
Kenny and Claudia Holt request
prayer for a two-week
outreach programme. The first week, from
2nd-6th July, is for
children aged 8-11, and will take the form of a two-hour
club each morning, with a mixture of Bible stories, quiz,
memory verse and songs. The second week, from
9th-13th, will be
similar but the teaching will be broken down into small
group study, thereby helping to reinforce the themes being
studied. Please pray
for a good number to attend, and that God will prepare the
hearts and minds of the children as they hear the gospel.
FRANCE
Mike and Alison Packer state that the infection that
Denison had has now
responded to treatment and his high fever and hallucinations
have disappeared. Test results show that the tumour is not
malignant. He is due for a review this week as an operation
is still required. Please continue to
pray for
Denison.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
David and Kay Stevens request
prayer for the
GLO team in
Limerick from
7th-14th July. 20
team members are expected, including
Mark and Shirley Davies
(ex-missionaries, now with GLO).
Mark will take the
morning devotions and also three of the church meetings. It
is hoped that at least five local teenagers will join in
too.
Andrew Burt
 is
running the children’s Holiday Club. Please
pray for blessing on
all the events held.
Noel and Liza McMeekin were involved in a week’s
Holiday Club in Newbliss,
Co. Monaghan, last week. 58 children were present on
the first evening, which was an encouraging start. Please
pray that the Lord
will speak into the hearts of these young people. In
addition, a children’s summer camp runs for a week starting
on 14th July in
Avoca, Co. Wicklow.
100 children will be involved in various activities and
Michael McKillen is
the invited speaker. Please
pray for help for him and for those responsible for
all the practicalities of running the camp, for blessing on
the teaching from the Word of God, and for safety of travel
and in every way during the week.
Prayer is requested,
too, for Hazel McMeekin,
who is in her last week of a six-week visit to
Angola, where she has
been helping Ruth Hadley
with her work in schools.
Colin and Rosemary Sheldon are preparing for a
children’s programme to be held on two caravan parks in
Newcastle, Co. Down,
from 7th-21st July.
In previous years, children have attended who have no other
contact with Christian teaching, so please
pray that the gospel
will have an effect on these young lives. A team of young
people will be helping in the children’s work and in the
main tent meetings. Pray
for blessing on helpers and hearers alike.
LOCAL
Open Air Meeting outside Larkswood Road Community
Centre. The weather has been so poor in recent weeks that so
far none of the "Open Air Meetings" have taken place. Please
pray this witness may
be able to take place next
Sunday, 8th July at 5:30 pm.
Richard Malcolm of North Shields is planned to be
with us for the gospel on Sunday next. |
