Visited a church in Paris where they meet in a coffee shop!
Many thanks to those of you who pray for us; it’s a real encouragement to know that you are part of what we are doing, through prayer. It can work both ways, so please keep in touch as to how we can be joining with you in the things you are talking to God about.
Here’s some prayer starters for this month: (bonus sixth request this time!)
- We had a good time at our Dinner with Friends group in September. Please pray that our gathering this month will be a time of enjoying good food and conversation together, and that we might be aware of God’s blessing and presence as we eat, talk and listen.
- Our weekly quiz night has started up again. Please pray for the ongoing relationships with those we go with and those we meet there. Resisting the temptation to ask for prayers that we might win!
- It would be good to remember The Jesus Lifestyle course we are hosting and helping the leader with. We meet once a week for a meal (food again!) and then watch the DVD and it’s opened up for discussion after. It’s a follow-up to Alpha based on the Sermon on the Mount.
- It’s easy to be busy doing the stuff, so we would value your prayers for time to ‘waste’ with God and to make sure that we are giving out from a place of fullness, rather than running on empty.
- Dave continues to preach at The Bridge and Sharon is helping encourage prayer. The numbers are growing past the 100 mark and include a wide variety of people from many nations. They include several exploring Christianity for the first time or returning to Jesus.
- Dave is at a strategic missions conference in early October about reaching the 2.1 billion children of the world with the message of Jesus. 100 people are gathering from around the world. Pray for a really fruitful 6 days.
Thank you for your support
