St John's Prayer diary
St John Newland Prayer Diary
16th June – 30th June 2010
The prayer diary is undated apart from events themselves and will be re-freshed every fortnight after a Central Meeting.
Our aim is to bring to the Lord the requests for both parish and further afield.
Please pass any additional requests to Geoff Waring.
Mission Partner: David & Jen Pett – MAF, Elcho Island Australia
· Give thanks for an enjoying and encouraging furlough and a safe return to Elcho Island with a warm welcome.
· Give thanks that demand for Christian resources from Jen’s market stall is high.
· For wisdom for the way forward with Graham and Jonathan’s higher education options.
· That decisions about the re-shaping of MAF would be driven by a passion to reach the people for Christ.
Other
· Mon 21st June: After Eight. Vicky McMunn speaking and the jazz band playing at the Fusion Bar
· For the preachers every Sunday as they prepare and deliver God’s message to us: Melvin, Lee & Scott
· Pray for the three islands in the Antigua and Barbuda state in the Caribbean. Antiguans are almost all Christian in name but complacent in the face of drug dealing, violence, gambling prostitution and a growing kidnapping “industry”. Pray for revival and that Christians will make a positive impact in their society.
· Give thanks for those professing faith or re-committing themselves to Christ following the recent Identity course.
· Pray for the students, some who have gone back to difficult family or church situations–that they would continue/grow in faith over the summer.
· For Melvin as he prepares to travel and teach in Cameroon.
St John’s School and Nursery
· That the forthcoming building work upheaval would not cause unnecessary stress and that the finance would come in.
· That a new Christian Headteacher can be recruited soon, and that the interim head (Mary) would continue to work well with the staff and uphold the Christian ethos.
· Give thanks for the parents of nursery children that have come to various events and courses and pray that the faithful witness of the nursery staff would bear fruit.
