Skirmishes
The prayer day went well. Usual mix of reactions to the meditation; those who can't picture anything and aren't sure what to do with it, those who thought it would be helpful with some practise, and those who really doing liked it.
We had a really good example of the need to pray for protection the last time we gave out free tea & coffee on the street. Right at the end of a really successful time, one drugged-up guy turned up and almost caused some disruption, and then some police turned up saying we should have a permit to 'sell' stuff on this street. (The police had always been OK with it before, we're sure a permit is not required for giving away free things – the police here aren't as consistent as in UK).
Please pray for:
Outreach this Saturday (2nd June) – giving out free Tea & Coffee (& flowers ?!). Pray for God to send along people who want to hear about Him and for protection from the enemy's attempts to frustrate this.
English Club: We are making good contacts via the English club. I'm finding that I'm gradually getting more opportunities to say something about following Christ to people. Some come just for the English and then start asking more why we're here and what we believe.
Me: Still, looking forward to going back to UK. Had a really good weekend away on the beach and God 'spoke' to me about something I've been struggling with. Feeling more on top of it now and inspired to seek God to change me so I can deal with it. Please pray that I continue to grow in this area (to do with standing up against evil Christ's way) and that I'm able to make the most of the opportunities to talk about Christ. Really looking forward to going to St Stephen's Uni in Canada now (decision made!).
From Christina: Wanting to stay out here! Pray for guidance and peace concerning what comes next. Also, to experience more of God's love and care and be able to trust Him more.
