Thursday 25th Feb 2016

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers. Today 12 people came through our doors not including 1 person who came afterwards to speak to me about some issues. It was a relatively quiet day with people participating well. We ended our day sharing communion together. It was a very hot day but it was good to see that many had braved the heat to attend.

One person was upset today and he is usually a very easy going happy person. Please pray that God continues to work in Him.
Please continue to pray that God works through this group and lives are transformed.

Thanks
Michael

February SHUM 2016

The first SHUM month for  2016 has been completed.
Thanks to the team who participated. I hope that I will see you return some time and that you will continue to support us in prayer. I also hope that you were encouraged and challenged during your month with us. If you know people who are interested in participating please encourage them to do so and contact me. These first few months see a bit slow to find participants.
Please commit this to prayer and pray that God will continue to provide people for His good work.
Thanks
Michael

People in Conflict - Thursday 18th February 2016

Hi everyone,
Today 11 people came through our doors. 2 of these I met through Wesley Mission and are Christians from the US only here for a couple of months but wanted to attend.
The study was received quite well today with everyone participating. The group has changed again a little. I realise this is due to my involvement with Edward Eagar Lodge. Some people from the lodge attend Bible study consistently but when they leave the lodge they just drop all contact, unfortunately.
Another guy attended from Edward Eagar lodge today, it was his first time. He was brought and encouraged by one of the other residents who attends consistently and is great at inviting and encouraging others to attend.
One lady who attended  to see me, left soon after that. I visited her later this afternoon and drove her to her sons newly acquired, housing provided place. Taking with us a load of things she was providing for her son.
Once there I then unpacked the car , this took a few trips. Then Ineeded to do some shopping for them as both are house bound with Physical and many mental challenges. I have been following both of them up for over a year now visiting them and having short Bible studies together.
Please pray that they will be able to attend the Thursday group soon.
Please pray for a lady who has not attended the last week or so. She is angry and upset.
Please also pray for another 2 ladies who are not attending each because of another person who is present.
As you can see this group requires a lot of prayer support.
Thanks

Michael

Thursday 11th February2016

Hi everyone,
Today was a very busy day. This was not just because of the number of people but because many had issues which they wanted to talk about before and after today’s Bible study.
14 people came through our doors today. Two did not stay for Bible study. They came from Edward Eagar Lodge and it was their first time. We’ll see if they return next week.
Please pray that God will work in their heart and help them to see their need for Him.

Praise God that even though it was a very busy hectic day , my wife , was there to chat to people and that God brought many people together today.   
Please pray for one person who was extremely disgruntled on from Tuesday night because they did get the attention they required. (Tuesday night was very busy)

Pray that God may give her a heart of forgiveness and repentance and that I may have wisdom to know how to continue to handle these situations in a Godly manner.

Thanks for your prayers
Michael

Thursday Bible Study starts for 2016

Hi everyone,
Today was our first Thursday for 2016. 10 people came through the doors to join us for Bible study. It was great to see some people I had not seen for the past couple of months. P Unfortunately there were no new comers from Tuesday nights invitations. Thank you for your prayers as it was good to see people return. There were another at least 4 who were supposed to attend but 3 of them did contact me to say they could not make it.
Another guy came late after we had finish and wanted to chat because he had something else occur this afternoon
Please continue to pray for the group and their commitment to the Lord
Thanks

SHUM 2016

Hi everyone
February SHUM began SHUM for 2016.
It was an interesting night with people not yet back in full force but still enough there for us to chat, share and pray with. It  was a good night for our first night back. Interestingly enough 2 people happened to pass by who I had not seen for over a year. It was good to see them.
Please continue to pray that God continues to bring people and with that opportunities to encourage people in our Lord , Jesus.

Thanks

Michael
