BBQ CHURCH
Sunday 16th Nov at 6pm
Chris Sherrah & Ian
Sander are our guest
performers—Country &
Gospel at its best!
Everyone is invited!
(1) Please pray that God
will rescue those who have fallen into
the grasp of drugs, pointing them to the
truth & hope in Christ.
(2) Please pray for a special blessing
from God upon Lebanon, Jordan &
Italy, for the great support these 3
countries have been providing to those
fleeing from conflicts in the Middle
East, & North Africa.
(3) Youth unemployment in Senegal is
estimated to be at least 40%. Young
people feel the political system has
failed them, & they are also
disappointed with the Islamic
brotherhood, thus seeking a more
modern version of Islam. Pray that the
Lord will turn their spiritual hunger
toward Him, & the church will be
ready.
