FOR PRAYER
The Suffolk Prayer Letter - Whepstead B.C. They were very encouraged in
September when one of the youngsters in their congregation requested
Baptism, Billy has had a tough few years with anxiety and depression issues,
and the major change in him is remarkable as he forges forward in his
Christian witness. He has entered membership with them and again that is
encouraging as they bade farewell to two very influential members recently
when they moved away. They ask for prayers that they may see a committed
approach of support throughout the church as they seek to follow our Lord’s
path and spread the Gospel.
Please pray for Peggy, Sue Laws (hip replacement), for the members of our fellowship,
for those at home and not able to join with us, and for any who are sick or troubled in
any way at all
Please continue to pray for the Deacons.

Thank you for all that you are able to give to Home

Recipients of this funding have been using it in some
creative and inspiring ways, and we’d love to tell you
about some of them on 40 days in the lead-up to
Easter. Every Baptist church member is being encouraged to set aside some time to
discover these stories, and lift up the situations to God in prayer.
Each of the stories will appear on www.baptist.org.uk/40days - starting on Tuesday 17
February.
Look out for the regular links to each story via Twitter and Facebook, or look on the rear
notice board for a ‘Fact File’ for each story.
If you would like to make a donation to Home Mission please speak to John Sargeant or
Colin Barrable.
