Overseas Mission
 
Please give thanks for

• our link with Church Army Africa.
• the work of Scripture Union with young people.
• the work of Mission without borders especially with local churches in areas of conflict in Europe.

 
Please pray for

• the training of evangelists in Nairobi to mean that they are equipped to minister in Africa.
• Danson in his role as General Secretary with all the responsibilities and areas of ministry he covers.
• those in the school and business school to come to faith or growth in their faith.
• the new evangelists who were commissioned in December and are now starting their new ministries.
• Mission without borders in Moldova and the work they are doing amongst the elderly especially those with few resources.
• Mission without Borders and their work in Ukraine amongst those who are now homeless, scared of what life will bring or in considerable need. That faith in Jesus would give them true hope.
• Mission without borders as it seeks to support those who are wanting education in schools and universities who are also encouraged to engage with faith.
• Scripture Union as it publishes ‘It’s your move’ which aims to help children in year 6 who are going to secondary school in September. Pray it reaches the children who will benefit most.
• Scripture Union camps have seen many children and young people come to faith –pray for this summer’s camps to be much used by God
• the Bible reading notes they produce to help people grow closer to Jesus and find their faith strengthened.
• the Scripture Union leadership as they lead and guide the work.

 
Please pray for anything else that the Lord lays on your heart.
