Cley - part of our Norfolk trip in August
We trust that you have all had some time for rest and relaxation over the summer. We had a good and enjoyable time back in England and received fantastic hospitality from many of our friends at Living Stones and elsewhere.
We also enjoyed a few days away in the New Forest, and Dave led the main sessions at a weekend family event in Norwich.
Back in France, Dave recently preached on the prodigal son at The Bridge. We were very encouraged as we prayed after the service with a ‘returning prodigal’.
Here’s our 5 prayer points for September:
1. Please pray for the two new life groups we are involved with; one we are leading, called Dinner with Friends. We are hoping this will be a relaxed gathering around the dinner table where conversation and friendship will take place. We are also helping to lead another group called The Jesus Lifestyle, which is a follow up to the Alpha Course. We’re believing that God will be at work in these two settings and that all of our lives will be transformed.
2. Please pray that the ‘tent-making’ work will continue to come in so that we can help support what we are doing here.
3. Our quiz night returns later this month. Please pray for ongoing relationships to grow and new ones to form. The owner has now started to introduce us to people who come in and enquire about an international church, and one person, along with his family has been along to The Bridge!
4. It would be good to pray that The Bridge will continue to grow and flourish and, as team members return home after their short term mission, new people will continue to step into the gap that this inevitably leaves.
5. We would value your prayers for our family back in the U.K. Please pray that God would be their strength and source of life.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers – we really appreciate your support in this way and are aware that it underpins everything we do. Pleased contact us if we can pray for you in any way.
