Partnership Update – 1st July 2011
Growing Leaders
“Manchester”
We look forward to tomorrow’s meeting at Radcliffe Road Baptist Church in Bury. Stephen Rees, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Stockport, will be our guest lecturer. Please pray for the sessions.
“London”
We anticipate a great time at our next meeting in London on 9 July 2011. Stan Evers, pastor of Potten Baptist Church and editor of Grace Magazine, will be our guest lecturer. Again, prayer is valued for this meeting.
“Gloucester”
If you or someone you know in the West Country would like to be a part of our training days in Gloucester beginning in September, please be in touch.
Planting Churches
“Angel”
The friends at Angel will be joined for a morning of street evangelism by a group of students from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas on the 15th of July. I will be preaching at an evangelistic service in the chapel that afternoon. If you would like to join us, please let me know.
“Chatteris”
I look forward to visiting the friends at Chatteris on the 9th of July. Please pray for me as I prepare to preach God’s word to them.
“Chelmondiston”
Please pray for the friends at Chelmondiston as they take steps toward constituting the church in the autumn.
“Edlesborough”
Antony Coles and Nathan Xiques have both reached the halfway point in their studies at London Theological Seminary. Pray for the Lord to bless their ministry in Edlesborough this summer.
“Grays”
Please pray that the faithful door to door visitation efforts of our brother Bruce Massop will bear much fruit.
“Halstead”
Prayer is valued as various options for developing the work here are considered.
“North Watford”
We praise the Lord for the evangelistic service at North Watford last Sunday with many guests present.
“Richings Park”
Please pray for the midweek Bible study beginning at Richings Park this month.
“Southall”
More than 40 people came to the neighbourhood BBQ at Southall last Saturday. Two contacts made at the BBQ came along to the service on Sunday. Please continue to pray.
“Wood Green”
Please pray for a man I spoke with last week at Wood Green who is considering a call to the ministry. We rejoice that God continues to call men from our church to serve Him.
Reaching Nations
“Scotland”
We rejoice that a group of men have been seated as trustees and a general secretary has been appointed for Grace Baptist Partnership Scotland. Further public announcements will be forthcoming in the coming weeks.
Partners in the Gospel
A number of you have responded positively to our appeal for friends to support this ever expanding work by making a commitment to give £10.00 a month over the next two years. However, we still need many more of you to assist us in this way. If it is your intention to do so and you have not let us know, please drop me an email.
