PRAYER FOCUS: P.W.A.

Pray that the ladies will be bound together in their commitment to Jesus Christ and that they would be able to help other women ‘Come and See’ who Jesus really is.

 

 

PRAYER FOCUS: INDIA

In the state of Orissa, thousands of people are still living with the consequences of the recent attacks on Christians and churches and fear further violent attacks.  Over 1,500 Christians in Barakhama are living in a refugee camp following the recent violence.  Thankfully, they are getting sufficient food but they cannot go to work nor can the children get to school.  The government has started to distribute aid to homeless Christian families to help them rebuild their houses, but some people fear they may be prevented from rebuilding their homes in the same place. Prayer Points:

·        All who have suffered due to the violence – particularly those who have been injured, or have lost loved ones, homes or livelihoods.

·        All Christians in the area, especially for Bishop B K Nayak and the members of the CNI’s Phulbani Diocese in the state or Orissa that they may each stand firm, remain true to their faith and keep witnessing through their lives at this time of oppression, intimidation and violence.

·        Help those in need; and those seeking to promote peace.

 

 

P.W.A. TUESDAY 19TH FEBRUARY, 7.45pm : MINI RALLY – MRS MAUREEN WEIR
