prayer...

Hi! Brenda here! I have just been on a weekend mission with a team of seven to Bangor in Wales. The mission was about doing evangelism in the ordinary places. Looking at the place where God has placed us and seeing the mission field around us. This is something most of God's people are trying to do, praying for the leading of the Holy Spirit to show them just how to be more effective. The one thing that is exciting for me is seeing how so many of God’s people really want to see God’s kingdom coming into people's lives.

At Bangor we were giving them encouragement in what they were already doing and then looking outside of the box at other ways of sharing the Gospel message. The people were very interested in taking the ideas and picking the ones that they could do. One thing we must all do is to ask God what are the God ideas and what are our ideas and discerning between the two.

One of the things that the church took up was doing a prayer walk. We arranged to prayer walk with them and just doing something practical was very good. They knew their area and pointed out land marks to pray for, and this was something they found very beneficial and actually they could do on a regular basis.

Have you ever considered your local area and the places that may be in need of prayer? I pray Gods’ Blessing on all that you are doing in His church.
