Peace Thursday 29th May

Hi everyone

Today  11 people attended Bible study. It was a very peaceful day without too much stress or problems.

Thank and praise God for this. People also participated well in Bible study today.

Please continue to pray for the group that God’s word will transform their lives and they will see the necessity of following the Lord daily.

Thanks again

Michael

May SHUM Team

Well its goodbye and thank you to the May SHUM team. It was great to serve with you and I hope that you were challenged and encouraged throughout the month. It was certainly encouraging to have you all there on Sunday at Edward Eagar Lodge.
I would love to see you all return again to SHUM and serve with me.
Please keep us in your prayers.
Continue to pray that God's word will transform the lives of those we meet.
Thanks
Michael

A Peaceful day Thursday 22nd May

Hi everyone,

Today 14 people came through our doors. One person came very late after we finished. However I still sat and prayed with them over a cup of tea. Another guy who was not travelling well stayed with us for a while and then left. I encouraged him to do this as when he is unstable mentally and within a group he can become aggressive and threatening. Please pray I can continue to sort this out.

Today was an unusually incident free day. People were even quiet.

Praise God as He continues to bring people consistently. Pray that God’s word will transform their lives. One new person came today. I had actually met him before. It was his first time and he came along with one of our regulars.

We also shared communion today.

Please continue to pray for the group and that people will grow in the Lord.

Thanks for your prayers

Michael

Thursday 15th May 2014

Hi everyone

Today 12 people passed through our doors. It was a relatively peaceful day. I revised rules of behaviour

within the group and will do the same again with the Sunday group. Then we proceeded with Bible study as normal. It is very hard to know what to expect each week. 

Hence your prayers that people attend in a stable mental state and hearts ready to receive God's word

are critical to this ministry.

Please continue to pray for the group and for SHUM.

The last couple of months it has been difficult to get people to participate in SHUM on Tuesday nights.

God has graciously provided people this month again. Please pray for God's continued grace each month, with people to participate.

Thanks again for you prayers and support

Thursday - Return after recess 8th May

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your prayers. After Tuesday night I was expecting more of the same . However God was gracious  and today was very peaceful. It was our first week back after a recess of 3 weeks and most regulars returned. One fellow  who was not in a good state on Tuesday night came today.  Today though he was in a good state of mind and participated in Bible study.  14 people came through our doors today and all participated in Bible study.

Thank you everyone for your prayers.  This time only works because of a gracious God and prayerful people

May SHUM Begins

May SHUM.

Praise God for providing peoplefor May SHUM.

Tuesday night began May SHUM. It was frenetic night with people coming and going.  However a couple of people were very agitated. I spent time with one of them and when I thought he was mentally stable and the night was almost through the other fellow who I know and had not spent time with, broke out angrily. He became aggressive and others also started being aggressive back. However God was gracious after a while I managed to lead him away from the group and eventually calm him. Finally he left but was in a much better mental state and left peaceably.

Praise and thanks to God for his protection and grace as everyone left peaceably and no violence occurred.

Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for us.
