Prayer updates (February 2024)

All Saints’ Lagoa, Algave, Portugal

Please pray

• for our younger families that we can meet their needs.
• for our children; we are slowly developing a ministry for them but need to start to identify possible leaders for this.
• for our ministry team as we develop their skills.
• against the influenza that is sweeping through the congregation.
• for the growth of our congregation as we seek to reach out to our local community.
• for our registration with the authorities; it’s problematic but we know prayer can move mountains.

Immanuel Church, Mönchengladbach

Praise:

• For a well-attended Christmas service.
• For a recent adult baptism.
• For a few newcomers.

 Prayer:

• For spiritual growth and making good use of the upcoming Lenten season.
• ⁠For growth in unity, friendship and fellowship among our people.
• ⁠For more people to join our Thursday night Bible study.

Christusgemeinde Markkleeberg, Germany

Praise:

• More than 30 adults have committed to church plant so far (plus kids). A team size of 40 now looks likely, which would be a huge blessing.
• Starting up a charity seems less complex than expected (esp. in Germany!)
• ⁠80 helpers at a recent working bee at our host, a new Christian school. Many of them interested non-Christians.

Prayer:

• ⁠Good communication during the hot pre-planting phase.
• A growing love in our hearts for the people of Markkleeberg.
• Provision of suitable/affordable accommodation for team members willing to move to Markkleeberg.

Wellfield Church, Leyland

Rev Mark Simpson gives a video update in which he describes the context of Wellfield Church, Leyland. He asks us to pray:

• For the church to grow in Christlikeness and godliness as they obey His Word and love one another.
• For them to do what right whatever the costs.
