Rescue Friday

Hi everyone,
Here is an interesting update to the guy I placed in the ambulance on Tuesday Nightl. The guy we put in the ambulance called me yesterday . He has been moved to Gorman house but will have to there upon Doctors approval.
He was very grateful to me as the ambulance officers said he would have died if we had not got the ambulance . In the ambulance his heart stopped again and they had to defibrillate him.
He is trying to get and needs accommodation so I referred him to Edward eager lodge so I should see him on Sunday as I will be at the lodge this Sunday. He does not get paid till later in the week so I said I would pay for his first week at Edward eager lodge if he can get in. He could be pulling a swifty but clearly his health is bad so I am willing to help out.
I think he is a believer and he intends to come on Sunday and to bible study on Tuesday and Thursday. However I have heard this all before so let's just see if he fronts on Sunday.
Please pray for this situation.
Also on Friday I had  to see a regular to bible study. He was depressed with the flu and had not eaten for 2 days. So I took him so food and panadol and prayed for him. Also gave him money for the train so if he is well enough he should be there on Sunday too.
Please pray for both these people. Another person also rang me on Friday needing help but I had to reorganize my times and due to this we missed each other by an hour is so. Must have been rescue Friday

Please continue to pray that God works in the lives of these people to bring them to a saving knowledge of him.
Thanks Michael

God's grace through a brother Thursday 25th July 2013

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers. I managed to struggle through Bible study which was good and God was very gracious. One guy was not going well and attended and started arguing with others in the group. He walked out. Fortunately a friend through SHUM turned up today to help out and he spent time talking to him while I took the Bible study.
Then after Bible study I was able to speak and share with him and he left later in good spirits.
God provides.
God brought 12 people through the church doors today with 2 people having to leave before we started. However we prayed for them as usual and it was great to see their commitment to want to come and spend some time with us today.
Please continue to pray that God and his word will speak to their hearts and transform their lives.

Thanks Michael

God's grace even when we do not deserve it Tuesday evening 23rd July

Hi everyone
Last Tuesday evening- though it has been cold people have still been meeting us on Tuesday nights. One fellow I met on Tuesday night who was not so familiar with Sydney came straight from hospital. He was upset and was suppose to meet up with the Mission Beat bus but was not sure of the meeting point. I calmed and rang mission beat they knew of him and the bus had been but not found him. I told them where he was and gave them my contact number and they would send a bus in 20-40 mins.
The man was grateful and relaxed and we prayed. 5 minutes later whilst talking to him he blanked out with his eyes open I searched for a pulse and tried to snap him out of this state. I quickly got someone to ring for an ambulance while I was doing this. Fortunately he came to. However this happened another 3 or 4 times before the ambulance arrived. In between time Mission beat also arrived.

By God’s grace the ambulance arrived and the man was taken to hospital. He is ok and has since been discharged.
Praise God for he watches over us constantly
Thanks
Michael

Thursday 18th July 2013

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers.
On Tuesday afternoon 2 people came to have Bible study with me. It was a good time of fellowship.
Today (Thursday) 12 people came to Bible study today. However one left before we started . He did the same last week. He was not going well mentally. Please pray for his mental state as he will see the doctor to review his medications this week.
Praise God also for a guy who attended from Tuesday nights invitations. It was his first time with us today. 
One guy who have I have been blogging about and has been struggling the last two months managed to sit through some of the study today. He listened and enjoyed his time with the group today. I also spent some time with him after as well. Please pray for him too as he with a friend of his maybe going to by themselves try and detox him.
Praise God also for 3 other new people whom attended today. One of our regulars brought them. Pray that they may return.
Praise and thanks to God who brought people in today as well as everyone attending in a good state of mind. I was very grateful.
I thank God for the opportunity to speak from God’s word  which highlighted it is only by faith in Jesus that we are saved. Pray that God may impact the lives of the new people that attended today.
Thanks for your prayers as today again they were answered.
Thanks also to helper Margaret from my Church and Roxan who provided a great lunch
Thanks everyone.

Thursday 11th July 2013

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers. Today started slow but by the time for Bible study started 7 people had arrived and stayed. Two others also came to see me but could not stay for the study. They normally do but one of them did not feel well. We studied Galations 4:8-20 and could see how hard Paul was working to bring the Galatians back to Christ. This prompted us to pray for those semi regulars who had not attended today. As we counted the list there were at least 10 people we needed to pray for who were semi regulars through our doors. Some like some of the Galations had also gone astray, some mentally, some physically and some both.
One fellow who has been experiencing many problems and sees me regularly was not there today and this is a worry so please pray for him. I also visited a person I had lent a camp stretcher to because she had just got a place through DOH and had no bed. I then found out through her that a couple of people who recently have been coming to Thursdays Bible study and were not there today, were very ill. Fortunately I had some left over food from today, so I asked the lady, I lent the stretcher to, to give it to them. God was truly gracious.
Please continue to pray for these people as it is clear  that much prayer is needed for each person’s life and for them to either accept Jesus or continue in him.
Thanks

Thursday 4th July 2013

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your prayers. They were certainly answered. After Thursday Bible study being in recess the last two weeks, today was our first week back. Its hard to know what to expect. Today started very slowly with 4 people arriving by 1pm. However by the time we began Bible study 12 people had entered through the doors.
We had Bible study and communion today. Today ran relatively smoothly, Praise God. This was however quite different from the last few times we have met.
Please pray for one guy whom  I managed to convince  to come early and then return to speak to me after people left. He returned near the end in group prayer. He even apologised to another fellow there that he had picked a fight with a couple of weeks ago. However he  is not well mentally and hence also physically. Pray that we can have wisdom to encourage him  to receive the correct help he needs.
Praise God for His guiding influence today and your prayers.
Thanks

Michael
