Prayer Needs for Jon and Beccy + Turning the Tide

Well, we’ve just two weeks to go before our biggest event of the year!

Thank you so much for all your support and especially in prayer. We covet your prayers because we feel we need them so much!!

Please would you pray for Beccy and Jon in the final preparations for Surf the Wave and with Jessica flying back from Zimbabwe today.

  • We are hoping to take some time out next week, for rest and prayer for the event.
  • Also Chris is in Chile at the moment and arrives back the day before Surf the Wave. Prayer for his holiday, his timely and safe return and a lack of jet lag, etc. would be appreciated as he is taking a leading part in the programme!
  • Jess is leading the worship!

Surf the Wave at Dalesdown – Prayer Points

Friday, 20th – Thursday, 26th August 2010

OUTLINE OF THE WEEK:

Surf the Wave is a residential event for children and youth. Children from 8 to 11 are joining us for the weekend (Friday afternoon to Sunday late afternoon) and the youth from the Friday afternoon to the Thursday afternoon. At the moment we have five 8-11’s coming, 23 12-16’s and we’re 45 in total.

Please pray for the overall aims of the spiritual programme; these are:

To draw us all closer to God, in the freedom that He gives, to enable us to be able to hear Him more clearly and, by giving the young people opportunities to lead, sending them out from Dalesdown stronger and better equipped than when they came;

We desire that all the meetings will provide real encounters with God as well as being fun, fresh and Holy Spirit-led;

Most of the teaching is being delivered in the mornings in small groups of four or five;

The evening meetings (‘Gatherings’) will have all of us together and will be focussed on worship, sharing from the small groups, testimony and hearing from God. Optional prayer ministry will be offered after the evening meeting.

Our other prayer needs are:

We are still receiving last-minute applications! Please pray that everyone the Lord wants at Dalesdown is able to be there;

For the first time we have a group joining us from KidzKlub Brighton and Hove. Please pray that they will all feel accepted, that there will be a sense of family and everyone will feel loved and blessed;

For safety, good health and sufficient energy levels for all during the different activities planned at Dalesdown and beyond;

For the Lord’s name to be lifted up and for His Kingdom to be extended!

“…. if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”

John 8:36 (New Living Translation)
