Prayer

105 Gibson Centre -

Please pray for the preparation of our Christmas celebrations in Nov and Dec. The Arabic ministry will hold its first winter/Christmas gathering mid-Nov, and will invite the husbands to join. Please pray that we'll have the chance to engage the men more and build relationships, with the ultimate aim of sharing the love, compassion and hope of Jesus with them.
