Rio de Janeiro
and the
Vitoria area.
Pray for the Lord’s blessing on their ministry,
and for guidance and help for the

items were stolen last week.

following week at Deep Cove, Vancouver.

team will be able to make a big impact in this
small town.

requests prayer for a
special meeting being held on 16th September,
to which the mayor, members of the town council,
neighbours, etc, have been invited. At this
meeting, the general plans for the year ahead
are presented and it is a good opportunity to
establish the church’s identity within the local
community.
Gerry
and Dorothy Seed (Nantes)
would value prayer for next weekend, when
a visiting speaker from Paris will give three
messages in the assembly. They also plan to hold
a children’s club on the Saturday afternoon and
hope to encourage some of the children in the
neighbourhood to come into the hall for the
first time. Pray for the younger Sunday
school teachers who are involved in the planning
of this outreach.
Ian Newberry
requests prayer that someone will
come to help in the work in Pierrelatte,
as he is away one weekend per month
presenting seminars on prayer. Last
year, they had a couple from Geneva Bible
School to help, but they have now returned
to Geneva to complete their training. Ian’s
next seminar is lined up for 15th and
16th September with three churches in
Seloncourt in the east of France. Please
pray that the Holy Spirit will move
and motivate people to pray!
