We will remember in our prayers the leaders and girls in our Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers.

 

^   PRAYER FOCUS : NEPAL

Saturday (28th) Joe Campbell will be co-leading a small team of five people to a very remote area in the far west of Nepal.  The purpose is to discern if UMN should establish new development work in the area.  They will be meeting local officials, key leaders, the local Christian community and listening to God as they prayerfully consider whether UMN should select that district as one of the two new clusters.  This is the first of four groups from UMN travelling over the next month to five districts.  Joe Campbell is preparing some morning and evening readings and prayer for the team.  Pray for clean water and food where the groups stay.  Pray for safety on the roads/tracks.  The team that Joe will be co-leading will travel in a small plane, by jeep for six hours and on foot for three hours!  Also pray that the groups will meet the right people, including local believers.
