May 26 Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week. 

Praise Reports:

- Praise the Lord: We heard from the Charity Commission that they will be granting charitable status to Calvary Braid Valley!
- Praise the Lord: Cindy's difficulties in getting the vetting process completed for Kairos have been overcome.
- Praise the Lord: Our first men's fellowship/Bible study meeting at Glory Be café in town was a deep blessing - plus had some yummy ice cream cake!
- Praise the Lord: The first step toward determining the Lord's plan for a multi-church recovery ministry to replace CR has been established as we will meet bi-weekly throughout the summer to wait on the Lord and hear from Him.

Thank you for praying for the following with us:

- Pray for the future direction of Celebrate Recovery in Ballymena as CR has come to an end. Many of the leadership team want to continue involvement with a recovery ministry. Please pray for the Lord to show His will and direct us.
- Continue to pray that the Faith Mission outreach Tim is involved with to the Tannybrake townland will have success and the Lord will bring some to faith and encouragement given to the believers in the area.
- Pray for Trish in Belfast, whom we know from Tres Dias. She is in an induced coma in ICU after suffering a seizure.
- Please pray for our friends Tom and Cheryl Rees who were CC missionaries in Gloucester, England but fell victim to the Immigration office's removal of Christian ministers. Pray for comfort and direction of their future.
- The city council has teamed with several churches in town and is hosting the Methodist modern art collection. We pray that this Christian-themed artwork will reach some of the lost to trigger faith.

Thank you for your faithful prayer support,
Blessings,
Rick and Cindy Johnston
