Praise & Prayer Points

PRAISE: The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. – Psalm 28:7

  • Karen’s English classes are bursting at the seams with ladies. Her newest students are a Syrian lady and her 10 year old daughter who hasn’t been able to get a school placement yet. The mother came initially to access the church’s foodbank, but when she saw an English class going on, she begged to join in too!
  • Karen is also praising God for her class helpers who make the larger classes more manageable.
  • Various plans for outreach ministries are gradually coming together to facilitate God’s work here. The Lord gives wisdom and direction!

PRAYER: As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God! – Psalm 40:17

  • Pray for Karen’s new ‘conversation circles’ and how to make them work well when ladies have such differing language abilities. She hopes to have more faith conversations in these Thursday afternoon sessions.
  • Pray for a Nov 4th nationwide conference in Birmingham. George is part of a small group organizing the conference.
  • Pray about the ongoing explorations and efforts to secure our church’s future land and facilities.

Thank you for praying,

George and Karen King
