February 2 – MTW England

Pray for strong bodies and safe driving during lengthy travels across the country to build and renew contacts.

Praise for 15 attendants at a meeting of a new International Presbyterian Church (IPC) church plant in London. Pray for the minister, trained by the Church of England, he could not pursue C of E ordination as it would require an oath of submission to his bishop that could not be taken in good conscience.

Praise for exciting growth in attendance (45 in July to 90 in January) at the Canada Water Church. Members of our team are enabling this outreach to South Africans to develop their English ministry by utilizing bi-lingual services.

Pray for development and facilitation of outreach in another area outside of London with a sizeable South African population.

Praise for a strong core group and MTW missionary, Rev Schweitzer organizing a church plant with the Durham church. The first public services were to be held in February.

Pray for clear leading from the Lord regarding the possibility that Cheltenham Church (CEPC) could join with the small independent church that owns the building already used for special services.

Pray for the Cambridge church having been out-bid for the building they were considering.

Praise for a large savings, provided by a stronger US dollar, on another replacement of our boiler due to the recent cold.
