Pray for SU - week beginning 27th September
Sunday 27 – Your prayers
Supporter prayer: My grandson, Harvey, would like you to pray for two of his friends who have trouble at home. He would like them to come to know Jesus because he thinks it would help them through bad times.
Monday 28
The southern Training in Schools Work course takes place over the next three days; like the northern course this caters for those new to schools work and those who want a refresher. Please pray for Lisa Jones and Ben Poch who will deliver the training and that all who participate will go away with fresh vision, new skills and renewed energy.
Tuesday 29
The International Leading Staff Development course was postponed to next month following last year’s Ebola outbreak. Please pray for the SU International team and everyone else involved in preparing for this important event, which will take place in Kenya. Pray for the participants, that this will make a big impact on their ministries.
Wednesday 30
Time out of work following surgery has enabled Jo-Ann Gaunt of Impact, SU’s local mission partner in Bedford, to rethink her role, looking to recruit more volunteers to enable the work to develop. Pray for her as she contacts church leaders seeking their support in this new move and that the right volunteers will be found.
Thursday 1
Pop Up Lifepath events in local churches, pioneered in the North West last year and visited by over 300 Year 4 pupils, are being repeated this year from 5 to 16 October. Pray for all the teachers and children who will attend as they look at the life of John Wesley and the faith of modern day Christians, through story, craft, drama, games and other activities.
Friday 2
Wayne Dixon from SU’s local mission partner Christian Connections in Schools, in Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, asks us to pray for ‘Living 4 Jesus @ School’ which takes place this evening and aims to encourage, equip, enable, support and inspire Christian young people from local schools. It will double up as a launch for Christianity Awareness Week (12–17 October) in Maidenhead, in partnership with Christian band LZ7, local churches and some senior schools.
Saturday 3
A tour is taking place over the autumn with the aim of introducing people to Explore Together, training them in the theories behind it and giving them the opportunity to experience it for themselves; the first event takes place next Tuesday in Derby. Please pray that this will give people a fresh vision for the way in which the Bible can be used in a range of situations to transform lives.
