Prayer Needs

As I wrote yesterday a big, general list of prayer needs...

1. The fledgling Church plant, for Katie and Mary, Caroline and Marsha.
protection and support for new Christians and wisdom for leaders.

2. Protection
We're feeling safe here physically but the spiritual battle is fierce so protection over the house, church and all the work going on. Prayer for the destruction of the strongholds of Apathy, Fear and Addiction.

3. Community
We're praying with a couple who are looking at moving in with us and sharing life in community (Acts 2 style). They are praying and fasting on Saturday, so pray with them. We're almost finished on having the cellar transformed into a prayer room. We hope to fill the two houses on the site with other committed members of a mission team in a new monastic way sharing life and a rhythm of prayer, going out into the Meadows on mission together. In the distant future we'd love a to house a rehab place, a health centre, youth and kids hang outs etc etc... but thats a long way off!

4. Lindon and Marie
This couple lost there 5 week old baby before Christmas but there oldest daughter is a Christian and i'm praying and working for them to be saved. join in!

5.Kids Church
We're planning a kids church to start from Easter. Pray for the planning/vision team. For kids to come and meet Jesus. For our children's worker, Helen. We're hoping this will be a space for kids to become radical Spirit-filled missionaries!
5a. Kids Clubs, we have great clubs that attract loads of kids. Pray that they will be increasingly about Jesus and evangelism. Pray for our great leaders, for more kids and for their future and how that works with kids church.

6.Dan
Pray for our little man. He seems to be the one the enemy picks on most. protection, better parenting, strength, wisdom... all the good stuff. Bring it on!

7.Gap year project
Please pray for our partnership with St Nic's (in the city centre) and St Christopher's Sneinton, for Steve and Ruth their leaders. St Nic's is beginning a gap year program from September for over 21's and the boys will be housed here in the Meadows and the girls in Sneinton. They'll worship at St Nic's and work across the churches. pray that many and the right people will be called.

8. Provision of a fundraiser/admin person
The big one. I need admin support and gifted person to do fundraising. the combined job could be a reasonable wage.
pray for God's provision and wisdom to know who that is.
Also for funds for the admin bit!

9. A house for duty youth worker
we want one!

10. Wisdom, leadership ability, strength, motivation, more love, deeper relationship with God.
All the things you'd like your church leader to have, pray for me!

11. inspiration/transformation for members
Lastly and hugely.
Our wonderful church family, small, tired battered but standing firm.
Our hearts cry is to see them fully armed and dangerous, strong in the Lord, deep in prayer, full of the Spirit, steeped in confession, free from all that holds them back.
I want to see them all raised up as church planters.

Ok, thanks for praying, anything else? add it on.

May God add to you 100 fold all that you pray for us.
