Prayer Letter January 2008
Dear Friends,
‘you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins’ - Matthew 1:21
Looking back with to the autumn with thanks;
- For God’s wonderful gospel which is powerful to bring people to salvation. We are grateful for the freedom which we have to proclaim the gospel week by week and for the Lord’s protection of the work.
- A number of guest events- Rico Tice in October, Mary Davis at the women’s lunch in November and then what was for us record turnouts at our two carol services. We were encouraged by the numbers who came overall.
- Judy Lawrence our new women’s worker has arrived from Sydney and is getting to know the women in the church family. We are very grateful for her as well as Mark Jackson who continues as assistant minister.
- A small but steady stream of newcomers joining Grace Church.
Things to pray for looking ahead;
- Pray that people would not only hear the word but accept it.
- Judy- is with us for just a year initially and then renewable each year. Pray that she’d continue to settle.
- Guest events- we are having a week of three talks in March with Simon speaking.
- Pray for plans to grow the staff team.
Thanks you very much for your partnership in the gospel.
