Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Give thanks for all those who have been helped through the staff team at Carlisle House. As 
people share their stories with genuine hope, pray that staff will continue to be the encouragement and help they need. Pray that people’s lives will be transformed through not only the recovery programmes but the love of Christ.


Education 
Dr Andy Brown is convener of the State Education Committee, and vice-chair of the Transferor Representatives’ Council. Pray for wisdom and guidance for Andy, members of the Committee and PCI transferor representatives, as they seek to make a positive contribution to state education at all levels.    


General Council
Pray for the Linkage Commission, meeting next week. Give thanks for those retired ministers who serve as Stated Supplies in various congregations and for their work in supporting and encouraging congregations. Pray also for vacant congregations as they seek direction and guidance in appointing a minister.


Council for Training in Ministry  
Applications for the 2022 Accredited Preacher Scheme are due early next month. Over 200 people have been trained already, and are playing a vital role preaching in vacancies and when ministers are on leave. Pray that the Lord will prompt suitably gifted people to apply so that they too can be used by him in the upbuilding of his Church. ​

J.John - Marie Durand
The story of Marie Durand, who spent most of her life in jail for her faith, is challenging. In eighteenth century France, the Protestants became involved in a brutal struggle with the Church and king. Believers faced conversion, prison or execution.
