‘What Goes Around Comes Around’

One day a little girl was sitting, watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair in contrast to her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, ‘Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?’

Her mother replied, ‘Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.’

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, ‘Mummy, how come ALL of Grandma’s hairs are white?’

 

 

A summary of the last month

It’s been a really good month, with answered prayer and progress in lots of areas. Notably Beccy has joined the team part-time in the office; as a result the office has had a timely and very noticeable facelift! Why not call on us sometime and take a look?! You’d always be most welcome; just check one of us is in first!

 

 

Feedback from our supporters

We value the comments and suggestions from our readers and the following section has come about due to a suggestion from one of our supporters.  She explained that she would find it helpful if we included a list of prayer points in our updates. So …

Specific Prayer Points

  • Praise God for all the progress and encouragements over the last month;
  • For creativity and anointing for the two assemblies Beccy and Jon will be taking in our  newschool, Fairlight Primary (Wednesday, 11th February, 12.55 and 2.05);
  • For Beccy’s regular work in Aldrington Primary – especially leading ‘Singing Club’ every Monday lunchtime;
  • For “The Roar” and the event taking place at Ashburnham next month – for all the planning and preparation, for the finances and for the right children to come;
  • For Jon and Beccy’s trip to the USA in April, that God will prepare us in every way and give us His message for the Youth Prayer Retreat;
  • For confirmation and provision for Jon’s possible trip to Thailand in August;
  • For the global ‘Children in Prayer’ movement as a whole and for its funding (as mentioned in our last bulletin).

Feedback from Supporters

Continuing on the feedback theme, we would welcome your comments specifically on:

  • The future of our monthly prayer meetings – we remain absolutely committed to prayer but if we met at a different time, for example in an evening, would you be able to come?
  • These E-prayer bulletins – is there anything you feel we can do to improve them and make them more useful / readable? All comments will be welcomed.

 And finally… some updates:

Assemblies at our new school – Fairlight Primary!

Since our last E-prayer a very successful meeting has taken place with the headteacher and our first two assemblies in that school are booked for next week!

 

“The Roar”, new UK Prayer Movement – Event at Ashburnham, 6th to 8th March

We are getting really excited about “The Roar”, especially as this event draws nearer. A good number of children and young people have signed up already or have expressed interest and we are aware we may fill the 50 spaces booked.

We are also aware of some individuals we think would benefit from this weekend that may not be able to afford it.  The prices have been set at £120 per adult and £60 for a child, which after the cost of Ashburnham is barely going to cover expenses.

Do you think you can help by sponsoring a place at the event, or by giving a gift towards our expenses? If so please let us know.

 

And last but not least…

Please remember our next TTT Prayer Morning; it’s planned for next Wednesday, (11th February), from 10 a.m. until noon at our office (at Room 1a, Enterprise House, 83a Western Road, Hove BN3 1JB). You are most welcome to join us for some or all of this time.

Please would you pray anyway, even if you can’t join us?

Thank you.

 

Thank you so much for your support; we are more aware than ever how important our prayer partners and supporters are. We are very grateful for all who pray for us regularly and who share our vision for the rising generation.

May many, many of them find their purpose and destiny in the Lord Jesus.

Thank you for partnering with us in the Gospel.

Jon and the rest of the TTT team
