Redcar GH:Missionary

The following information comes mainly from the Echoes weekly prayer bulletin and further details can be found on their web site. Other prayer requests have come from direct communication with the missionary involved. The prayer requests listed here are, as far as is sensibly practical, for activities that are happening on the particular week. A list of previous weekly Missionary Prayer requests can be found here.

The Assembly also, most months, publishes a monthly Missionary Prayer Newsletter, for prayer requests on a longer time-scale. Click here for the last month's prayer newsletter.

One of his daughters is caring for him.

The visit of the Tall Ships to Hartlepool (7th—10th August) is giving the Hartlepool Assembly a unique opportunity to witness in a “big way”.

Try and get along to Victoria Harbour, Hartlepool, if you can, and remember daily in prayer.
