Prayer Letter 10th March 2017

Hello everyone,

Again, appreciate your comments from last week’s Prayer Letter.

• Today I have been chatting with people who are far from well, but pushing on with their work. Further Prayer in so many areas for such Officers and Staff please.

I am attaching a request from Sussex Police for help in the “Big Church Day Out”. This takes place in May and the Police are asked to volunteer their time in safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. All the information is in the attachment including the name of the Sussex Inspector who is organising this Team. Being involved in this work myself in “Newday”; is very satisfying to be available.

I have just read a report about Bear Grylls’ cameraman. The web site is attached below.

You will see from the report that Bear Grylls regularly Prays with his team, Christian and non-Christian when out on adventures.
One quote taken from the report is as follows:-

“We work with a sound guy called Jimmy who isn’t a Christian and one time we were so caught up in what we were doing that Bear didn’t pray. Jimmy’s reaction was ‘Hang on a minute! Bear hasn’t prayed! We’ve got to pray before we start.’ So the influence is massive”.

That speaks volumes to me, both Praying before any action I take, but also that others around me somehow expect me to Pray. Please Lord may we always rely on you and may those near us, because of our life style know how important Prayer is to us.

Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, They Kingdom Come they will be done. Amen.

Matthew 6: 9-10

Many Blessings to each of you in the three Forces that receive this PL, Sussex, Surrey and The Met.
