Sunday 20

Pray for Toby Chant and Margaret Lilley of the south west region who lead mission through sports training days in Durban this week, with a view to a new residential camp. Pray too for plans for a residential in Devon in March led by volunteers from South Africa and England and Wales. 

Tuesday 22 
Pray that Stars, a curriculum event held today for Year 3 students to help them ask the big questions in life, and run by SU Ministries Trust on the Isle of Man, will enable children to see what place Jesus might have in their lives.

Friday 25 
This weekend, Dan Wicks (development worker in the south east region) will be involved in a residential activity for a group of young people from Kings Cross. Pray that they will hear the good news about Jesus and respond to it.
