...  PRAYER FOCUS FOR THE WEEK

We will remember in our prayers the leaders and young people in our Youth Fellowship and Friday evening ‘Krypt’.

 

 

… PRAYER FOCUS: NEPAL

The past week has seen huge numbers of people openly defying government imposed curfews and demonstrating on the streets of the capital Kathmandu in opposition to the King’s sacking of the government a year or so ago.  Thousands have been involved; and in some places, an overly heavy-handed reaction by security personnel has resulted in a number of deaths and hundreds being injured.  Remember in your prayers UMN staff during this time of uncertainty and progressively more difficult living circumstances.
