Kids club over
Praise God for a very successful kids club at the Cathedral that we ran this week. The message of Jonah was proclaimed faithfully and about 20-25 kids came along which was great. It was immense fun and hard work at the same time!
I am still preparing my seminar at the medical college tomorrow - I'm going to do a bible study on 1 Peter 3: 8-18 followed by looking at Two ways to live. It's very likely that the Christians haven't seen this before, so please pray that it would be helpful to them. There might be some non-Christians coming too, so please pray that we can be a good witness to them.
The next Guest night is on Saturday - Sam is speaking on "How can I trust the Bible". Please pray that many non-Christians would come and that God would grant all the understanding of His word, and pray that many would turn to it as a result. Pray for good conversations at the tables.
A few other things:
- Please continue to remember the girl from the youth camp that Bryony, Caroline and Laura are meeting up with, that she would keep reading Mark's gospel and know Jesus. Pray for sensitivities with her family.
- Thank God for the work the Ebbe's girls have been doing with the Girl's Brigade. They had the opportunity to teach them a song based on John 3:16 and explain what the verse meant. Pray that this ministry can continue and bear much fruit.
- Even though there is little time left, we are still trusting that God can provide some opportunities to meet up with SMACC folk. Thank God for the conversations that have happened already.
This last point might need some explanation. Part of the purpose of our trip is to encourage some of the SMACC people to have a more mature view of what church is for (Eph 4) and thus help them to see the importance of so-called "horizontal" sharing of God's word between each other. We're not sure quite how well this has gone, but pray that we would have been of some use.
Here's the English translation of that song:
He is Lord, He is Lord
He is risen from the dead and He is Lord
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
