FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
We pray for the International Congress Team as they make preparations for the 2015 ‘Boundless’ Congress. We pray that all our students who are/will be taking examinations. We give thanks for the hard work of our Junior Soldiers Sergeant, Gill Paxton, and the team who support her. For the peoples of UKRAINE, that peace would reign in this troubled country. For Ronnie & Frank – Ronnie’s Mum in the USA is far from well. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the persecuted Christians in NIGERIA, that the government would uphold religious freedom for all in the Northern States. The claiming of the ‘SQUARE MILE’ around our hall in prayer over the next weeks and months. DON’T FORGET – to use the Prayer Network – see Audrey Beeching or Jo Gaskin. ‘PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK – Parliamentary Legislation’
