Praise God and Thanks

I just want to thank God an everyone who has prayed for people to participate in October SHUM. I now currently have a team of people another person or so would be great but Gos has certainly provided. At one stage only two weeks ago I had only myself and one other. Now we have 5 people (including myself) starting the first week and 6 people from there after.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Today 8 people attended Bible study.he Youth group at the Church This was not including myself, faithful helper Ann and visitor Jocelyn from the Youth group at the Church I attend. We had a few regulars missing today. One new guy attended he has been once before but that was a couple of months ago. The group was quiet today and this seemed to be the case around the city.
I was encouraged to have Jocelyn attend. She baked biscuits and generously brought them to share. Everyone loved her biscuits. Thanks Jocelyn. Hope to see you back again some time.
Thanks everyone  for your support and prayers
Michael

Church Camp

Thanks to all those who prayed in reference to taking people to the Church Camp.

Last Friday before we left for Church camp as always a number of issues happened.

One guy who was supposed to come (Mr X)  had not made contact with me for 1 and a half weeks and was not there at 5pm when we were supposed to meet. I was pretty sure he wasn’t going to come and so had organised another person to come (Mr Y) and have dinner and take his place if Mr X did not show.

Well Mr Y then said he wasn’t coming and I spent an hour talking and praying with him to convince him to come, I could not convince him so after dinner he left. Then at 6.45pm when we are leaving Mr X calls to ask if he can come. I pick him  up and he is not thinking too well at all. He did not want to take anything to the camp.

Suffice to say we made it to the camp. It was a tiring weekend looking after them.

However God is good and Mr X and Mr Y both attend Thursday Bible discussion.

Thanks

Michael

Hi guys,

Thanks for your prayers.

Today 9 people attended Bible discussion. This was not including Derek, Ann and myself

A guy (Mr X) who had gone missing lately and who I have requested pray for has contacted me in the last couple of days and attended today. Praise God.

This weekend is our Church camp and I am taking two people with me from the Thursday group. There is also a good chance that one guy maybe a no show tomorrow so I have asked the Mr X  to meet with us for dinner and if the other guy does not show he  can take his place.

So what are the chances? I maybe taking 2 or 1 or no one to the Church camp. In this ministry you need to be flexible. Please pray about this as I am sure God has this under control.

I have been extremely busy as of late and so Derek led the Bible study for me today and Ann also again faithfully helped out.

Thanks for your support

Michael

Thursday 13th September

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your prayers. Today 10 people attended Bible discussion. I did a sausage sizzle for lunch today, needless to say it all went.

One guy who has attended over the last few weeks, has been staying the whole afternoon. At first I thought he was only coming for the lunch but he is happy to interact during Bible discussion. Pray that God will work in him. Pray also for the guy I have told you about who recently accepted Christ. I have spent a lot of time with him over the past couple of months but now he has gone missing. I cannot contact him ( he is not returning my calls or messages) and he has not been coming to see me. Pray that God will continue to work in him whether it be through me or some other believers.

Please pray for the Church camp as I intend to take a couple of people to the camp. This is always thwart with danger as whatever I plan with them normally does not work out as planned.

Please also pray about SHUM in the next couple of months I currently have no one who is able to participate.

Ann from my Church was faithfully helping out today.

Thanks Michael

Thursday 6th September 2012

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your prayers. Today 10 people attended Bible discussion. This was not including faithful helpers Derek and Ann (from the church I attend) and Sam from another church who had joined SHUM in a previous month and now has some time to join us for fellowship on Thursdays.

We also shared communion today.

Please continue to pray for this one guy I have recently spoke about. I should be meeting up with him tomorrow but he is struggling and a new Christian as well.

Thanks also to a friend from Church Zacky who provided a great lunch today.

Thanks

Michael

Thurdsay 30th August - Sunday 2nd September

Hi guys,

Thanks for your prayers for Thursday.

9 people attended Bible discussion on Thursday. One new man attended who had not been before. Please pray for one guy who meets regularly with me and I am also encouraging him to attend on Sunday as well. He is a bit intimidated by Sunday.

On Saturday I worked with the youth of CPC and our other youth worker to put on an Art Exhibtion. This was done as an out reach and we invited people from the Local area to this event. The day was well received with 80-100 people from the area attending. Praise God! Unfortunately we could have done with a lot more people to help converse to people and welcome them in.

Today two people attended for Bible discussion which was great. Please pray for one guy who has been inconsistent in attendance this year but is just now starting to get his act together.

Thanks Michael
