THANKS & PRAISE
- Thank God for Staff Attack - staff conference :: The whole staff team (Warwick, Dave, Rod, Kurt, Robyn, Caro, Sam, Marty, Jono and Doug) went up to Copacabana beach for 3 days to review the year and think /plan ahead. It was great and fun time away with the staff team, good quality time in the bible, sharing and praying as well.
- Thanks for Women's Katoomba Convention (WKC) :: great time away with Evening and Morning Church Women. Saturday night the 25 or so women all cramed into one of the 2 bedroom units to share a meal together and fellowship. Praise God for the women speakers who spoke with clarity and conviction reminding the 3000 women to not domesticate Jesus and make him managable instead to see Jesus for who he really is and serve Him : the one true living God!
- Praise God that I have seen his care and love in answering prayers lately... changing my heart by giving me wisdom and paitence and compassion. Giving me what I need to honour Him in building genuine relationships with people.
PRAYER / ASK
- Pray for the remainder of the year for our Prayer and Bible Group as we begin to study John. Pray that we all want to know Christ more through his word.
- Pray for Pulse youth group :: few girls in my care are going through some hard times. Please pray for my co-leader Alicia and I that God will sustain us, give us the right words to comfort the girls and wisdom to point them to treasure and cherish Christ.
- Pray for the Welcoming and Follow Up ministry at Evening Church that I have initiated mid-way through the year. Pray that people involved will continue to be keen to see newcomers really welcomed into our family at Matthias and want to develop genuine relationships with them. Ask God to encourage our people at Matthias to be concerned for the outsider and want to welcome them in as God has welcomed us (sinners) into his kingdom.
- Pray for the staff team now that we are back from our conference that we wouldn't be complacent or lazy but that we will be keen and faithful in putting things we discussed and planned into action.
This is my passage of encouragement and prayer for the month:
May you be strengthened with all power,
according to his glorious might,
for all endurance and patience with joy
Colossians 1:11
