July 8 Praises & Prayer Requests

Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week. 
Praise Reports:
- Praise the Lord: We had a pleasant day for a barbeque on Independence Day, the fourth of July, spent in fellowship with some people we've been reaching out to. Also, for the nice day out we had at the Belfast zoo with our good friends the day before.
- Praise the Lord -  We've been greatly encouraged by the spiritual growth we've seen in Jo Anne.
- Praise the Lord: The past week was a relaxing one. Well needed!
- Praise the Lord: Midweek Bible study had the new woman whose been attending our church was there, she seems keen to participate in the life of the church.

Thank you for praying for the following with us:

- We ask prayers for Tim from our fellowship who has begun several weeks of working at youth camps for Faith Mission. We pray for strength in body, mind and spirit. And wisdom as he teaches

- We also want to lift up to the Lord: Scripture Union youth camps and other camps, as well as Holiday Bible Clubs that will be running this summer. We pray for children to be saved, camp workers to grow in the Lord and the Lord's word and will to be worked out in all these lives.

- Pray for Inverness Bible Fellowship to remain faithful to the task of sponsorship which will continue until March 2016 and be blessed as a body.

- Pray for us to find the next sponsor - we require a visa through May of 2017. (We can apply for permanent residence in April 2016)

- We are still praying for the Lord to show His will and direct us to His plan for the future direction of a recovery ministry in Ballymena. Interested parties will meet again in July to seek the Lord's direction.

Thank you for your faithful prayer support
God bless you,
Rick & Cindy Johnston
