Last Thursday Bible study for 2015 Dec 10th

Hi everyone,

Today was our last Thursday Bible study for the year. We had a special lunch today.

It was a strange day with a few people not there because they were in hospital.

12 people came through our doors today

One guy who had not been the last couple of months returned today and one new person attended today. Even after we finished someone called me to send their apologies as they were on their way to hospital. Strangely enough I asked if they were going to hospital soon as I was on my way to visit a guy in hospital who also rang earlier saying that he could not make it because he too was in hospital.

A lady who I know from Edward Eagar lodge and has been attending was not in a good mental state today. This was the case for many of them. The group was not cohesive and I believe part of this is the people who have been attending have been changing over fairly regularly.

After visiting the man in hospital , I waited for him to be released and drove him and another guy from Edward Eagar Lodge back to the lodge. Both were glad to return there.

Despite the events of the day praise God that He has brought these people to us today and I still managed to have Bible study with them even though it was quiet and some were obviously having trouble concentrating.

Pray for the people who attend the various groups I organise. Pray that God will work in them to change their lives.

Pray that they may have a consistent relationship with God.

Thanks for your prayers over this year. Please continue you to pray that God will sustain and guide this ministry and SHUM.

Hi everyone,

Today 12 people came through our doors, this did  not include one who came in right at the end but rang me and asked to come for a few minutes wanted to say hello to everyone. 

I had 3 guys from  Edward Eagar Lodge attend today it was their first time. Unfortunately none could stay for the study . One of them though has met with me every time I have been around in the city this week having Bible study, including Sunday. Unfortunately these 3 had different appointments to attend today.

They all are struggling with issues in their life . 

Pray they will attend on Sunday and next Thursday too.

Another guy came who had not been for a possibly a year. And yet another person just out of rehab also returned today.

Please pray for the group as there are many problems carried by the people who attend.

Thanks and praise to God who provides and sustains all people.

With many people today at different times, praise God that the day went peacefully and people participated in Bible study.

We still have a couple more weeks left for Thursday Bible study this year.

Please pray people will hear, learn and meet Jesus.

Thanks 

Michael

November SHUM - Year end!

Hi everyone,
Thanks to the November SHUM Team for their participation and support during November. I hope I will see you again next year. Our last night at Central Station for 2015 was very busy. People were coming and going most of the night. It certainly would be great to see some of them at Thursday Bible study or at Edward Eagar Lodge on Sunday.
Please continue to pray for them and that those whom the Lord has touched will find their way to us somewhere during the next couple of months.
Thanks for your prayer support during the year

Hi  everyone,

Today was a quiet day at Bible study 6 people attended not including another person whom arrived very late. Our regulars seem to be not so regular as of late. However this could also be due to this time of year too.

We still read God’s word together and most if not all participated freely.

Please pray for one guy who did not attend today but who I have been working with a lot the last couple of weeks. He used to be very regular. He is going through a number of things but is being distracted from God. Pray that he will be drawn back to God and that he may attend on Sunday.

The November SHUM team will be at Edward Eagar Lodge this Sunday.

Pray everyone will be encouraged and we can encourage and learn from each other as we worship together.

Thanks

Michael

Hi everyone,

Today 9 people attended Bible study. The day went smoothly and people were in a good state of mind. We still have a number of regulars missing from our group.

They are clearly distracted from the Lord at present. 

Please pray that God will work in them and that they will return.

I have been following them up, however its clear they need God's intervention into their lives.

Please continue to pray for the group

Thanks

Michael
