A Busy day. Thursday 28th Feb 2013


Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers!
Today we had a lot of people return so 13 people attended Bible study. This is not including myself, my wife and two other faithful helpers. We also had communion. Unfortunately from Tuesday nights invitations a few who were expected rl did not show. Although whilst waiting outside of Church I saw one fellow  from Tuesday night and dragged him in. He was happy to attend.
Unfortunately also one fellow got upset at something before we began and left. He comes every week and is a believer and a nice guy, so please pray whatever happens will get sorted out.
Please commit this situation to God.
My wife drove me in and home and cooked lunch for the group today. I am thankful for her support and commitment. As well as the support of our other 2 helpers Margaret and Ann.
If anyone would like to visit Thursday’s group anytime when you are free, feel welcomed to attend.
Thanks again for your support
Michael

Tuesday and Thursday 3rd week of February 2013

Hi everyone
Thanks for your prayers
It was good to return to Tuesday nights this week broken wrist , stitches and all. When we arrived at Central people were scarce but within half and hour many people were arriving and chatting and praying with us. Praise God for continued opportunity to do this.We will be at Edward Eager Lodge on Sunday.
Today at Thursday Bible group

10 people attended bible study by the time we had finished.
One person did not stay for the study and that is the guy I have been telling you about he is not well, Stays for about 15 minutes and leaves.
Two people attended today who have not been for at least 4 or 5 months.
Please pray for the group and that God’s word works in them to bring transformation to their lives
Also praise God my son drove me in again today and helped setup and serve. Thank you also that someone from my Church cooked a great lunch for us and thank you for the consistent support of Margaret Lo ( from the Church I attend) since the beginning of this year.
Thanks and please keep us in your prayers
Michael

Thursday 14th Feb 2013


Hi everyone.
Thanks for your prayers. I had our smallest number for along time. 6 people attended and two had to leave during Bible study. However fellowship and the study went well with people sharing and talking freely I think because of the smaller number. So God was indeed gracious. Also the guy who I mentioned to you last week, who is not well mentally, still managed to return today. He still wants me to pray for him and hopefully will be there on Sunday to have Bible study.
I was also fortunate that my wife had the day off work and so was able to drive me in, pick up food and help out.
Please pray that other former regulars will return as there seem to be a few away still.
One guy who did not attend on Thursday came to see me on Sunday at Church. He is not going so well. Please pray for him.
Thanks also for those who are praying for my recovery.
Michael

SHUM starts for 2013 and unexpected incident


Hi everyone
SHUM on Tuesday nights has begun.
Just like Thursdays things are a little slow getting started and people are still getting used to the idea that we are back.
Sorry I have been offline but I had an accident.
I plan to hopefully attend not this Tuesday but the following. I broke my wrist quite severely and have a plate and 2 screws holding it in place. I also had 8 stitches above my lip which has just recently been removed. I also had a lot of bruising on my body but a lot of this has now gone down. I will be seeing the surgeon and getting follow up xrays this week.
I cannot drive which does propose a bit of a problem. This is because I often need to cart many things with me whilst doing ministry. Please pray that I will be able to sort/reorganise this.

I managed to run Thursday Bible study group last week. My son drove me in and setup and cleaned up and drove me home. One new person attended which is great but we still have a number of semi regulars missing. We had 7 people attend. This did not include myself, my son and another helper. Please pray for one guy who was extremely consistent in attending everything but has now mentally lost it and with that his life is disarray. Its truly a miracle that he came on Thursday even though his thinking is all over the place. Pray that God will work in him and continue to remind him to attend.

Thanks
Michael
