They’ll be giving out 5,000 copies of the leaflet inviting people to special services, which includes the testimony of one of our church members. We’ve had really little response to leaflets in the past, but please pray God uses it. Pray that the team would have a real impact on the children in the church particularly, both through organised activities, but also just spending time with them. One of the girls we know has been looking forward to the team and will probably be around for a chunk of the week. Pray that God would be at work in her and her family.
- Stranraer GO Team – Yesterday was a busy day of garden work + a drop in cafe, we had 9 people come in from the street and have conversations over a cup of tea. The afternoon was more garden work+ the last of 5000 leaflets. Evening was a Church BBQ where a few people came that we had been praying for. Give thanks that so many people came out and were so open to the gospel. Pray for those with unsaved family, that they could be a good witness.
- The Gambia – Give thanks for the meeting with potential office bearers looking at the Confession of Faith.
- Pray for the RPCS Reformation Tour in Edinburgh on Saturday. Pray that this would be an encouraging time of fellowship amongst the churches.
