Thursday 15th March
Hi all,
Thank you for your prayers.
Today 2 new people attended. They came from initvitations and conversations on Tuesday night at Central. Another lady who also returned on Tuesday night and has been to Thursday Bible study a number of times also attended today.
All up 11 people attended, that was not including myself and Derek and my wife who came and cooked for us today. Lisa cooked a lovely meal, thanks Lisa!
Please also pray for a couple I have been visiting regularly in the Surry Hills area. I went to visit them today only to find out both have been admitted to hospital. Hopefully I will see them tomorrow.
Thanks for your prayer support it is greatly appreciated

Hi all,
Thank you for your prayers.
On Tuesday night March SHUM began. That night we had a minor altercation between one of the guys and the female who had been camped on CPC’s premises for some time. Both were at Central on Tuesday night and had come to meet with us.
On Wednesday night, the guy who was in the altercation called me 3 times. He said he would come on Thursday to Bible study.
I knew the female would also come on Thursday and knew that this would create a very tense argumentive time, if both were present.
Anyway God was gracious and the guy did not show up on Thursday.
9 people attended on Thursday. This was not including myself, Derek or Ann. It had taken many people over an hour to get into the city due to rain and the rain kept coming till about 2.00pm
The female was not in a mentally good state and struggled to stay. She definitely would not come in and sit with the others as she thought that other spiritual forces were working through the others who were there. She believed this was threatening her.
Pray for her and that she will return in a better mental state next time.
As you can see much prayer is needed for the these people as many forces are against them.
Please continue to pray for them.
Thanks Michael

Hi all,
Thanks for your prayers.
Today 10 people attended Bible discussion, plus another person who came to see me before we started.
It was a bit of a slow start with only half being there at 1.30pm.. However God was gracious and by the time we had finished singing songs and began Bible study most had arrived.
One guy who has not been since last year came and really enjoyed the Bible study. He enjoyed it so much that we had to give him a piece of paper so he could copy the notes I made on the whiteboard. This is really God working in him as I don’t think my Bible discussions/talk is that noteworthy.
Derek and Ann were also there to help out and Roxan from my Church provided a great lunch.
I have told my Church that we cannot change the day we meet for Bible discussion. Hopefully this will not be a recurring issue.
Danny from my Church also ran the Bible study I run on Sundays for those few who attend. Thanks Danny.
