Let’s Pray For Moderator
The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of many. Pray that as the message of Christmas hope is celebrated in our churches, this good news would be a means of encouragement for God’s people. Worship as offering this Christmas ‘On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.' Matthew 2:11. Pray that our worship this Christmas season will be marked by awe and self-sacrificial giving to Christ. Russia Pray for the staff and students at the St Petersburg Christian University as they come to the end of the semester. Give thanks for all that has been achieved over the past semester and for good feedback on the courses. Pray too for the completion of a book on Practical Theology for Russia and for its translation. Malawi Give thanks for the ongoing work of Theological Education by Extension in Malawi (TEEM). Pray for the running and development of TEEM’s courses and that more people will join the courses. |
