BELGIUM

Anne Dryburgh would value prayer on 21st October, when a friend of hers will be coming to Gent to speak on how to be a Christian in the workplace. Quite a few people have questions on this subject, and it is hoped that this event will encourage them and give them confidence to live as believers in environments that are often quite hostile. Anne also mentions that there is to be a baptism service on 22nd. Those being baptised are two teenagers, two young adults and a lady in her 60s.

FRANCE

Following on from last week’s prayer request, Alan and Valerie Kyle advise that they had a very encouraging weekend at events encouraging people to read more. Hundreds of people heard the gospel in their assembly building and in the open air. Please pray that literature will be read and that lasting contacts will be made as a result of this outreach.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Andrew and Lorna Burt (Enniscorthy) report that for six Monday evenings, starting on 16th October, they will be holding an introductory Bible study for young people. They have invited all the young people from their own church and youth clubs. Pray that those who have trusted Christ will be clearer about their faith and be encouraged to witness for Him, and that those who do not know the Lord will ask Him into their lives.

Please pray for Michael McKillen (Cootehill), who is taking a week of children’s meetings in Bandon, Co. Cork, from 16th-20th October.

LOCAL

Mike Oakes is responsible for the Gospel Service on Sunday evening, 22nd October.

There is a Seed Sower’s packing day at Wylam next Saturday morning (21st October).

Alan Barber is on school holidays next week but would value prayer for a week of Children’s Meetings at Bicester.
