Prayers – week beginning 16th July 2017

Story type:

Join us in praying for Scripture Union ministries – for those sharing the good news and for the children and young people they share it with

Sunday 16
SU in Madagascar praise God for the common programme agreed for the whole island. Pray that this will lead to a growth in ministry. Pray too for the distribution of a new tool, Woman of Value, and for the daily Bible devotions on 34 radio stations.

Monday 17
As part of the Jubilee celebrations and The 95 Campaign, a series of talks designed to provoke fresh thinking on mission to children and young people is being produced and made available online. Pray that these will help churches to think in fresh ways.

Tuesday 18
Tonight Local Mission Partner Faith in Schools based in Newham are holding their Appreciation Evening where they thank God for their volunteers and pray for their work in schools. Join with them in thanking God for all the volunteers who make SU ministry to The 95 possible.

Wednesday 19
COINS, Local Mission Partner in Newbury, ask for prayer for effective follow-up to work done when Riding Lights visited schools in April. Pray too for the provision of new workers in their team and especially for maternity cover for next year.

Thursday 20
Please pray for those who try to balance the requirement to ensure our data is secure with the need to help staff work efficiently. New regulations governing data security and new credit card payment systems need to be integrated with our existing work.

Friday 21
Please pray for the Publishing Team as they move towards a new and more focused vision of reaching The 95. Pray that those guiding this process can help the team adapt so they can become better equipped for a future that includes more digital content.

Saturday 22
For the next five days, Local Mission Partner PSALMS is running a residential for 50 pupils in years 7–9. Please pray that God will bless the time away and in particular speak to the young people as they hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
