September 22 Praises & Prayer Requests

Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week.  

Praise Reports:

- Praise the Lord: We have submitted the church's application to be a sponsor for visas and it is now in the hands of the Home Office (and the Lord!).

- Praise the Lord - The women's studies began in earnest and the ladies are excited to see what God is going to do.

- Praise the Lord: Rick had a good meeting in Maghaberry Prison.

- Praise the Lord: The Lord has shown us His will, and that is for us not to be involved if there is a replacement of the Christian recovery ministry. We are already very busy and wisdom dictates us not to overdo it.

Thank you for praying for the following with us: 

- Please pray with us for a dear friend and brother in California, Bill, who suffered a stroke this past Friday afternoon. In particular, his fine motor skills on his right side are affected, as well as speech and walking.

- Pray that the Lord will move during our first church-wide retreat this weekend and we will draw closer together as a church family and draw closer to the Lord as individuals.

- Pray that CBV will have favour in the government's eye as it applies to the UKVI to be a sponsoring organization.

- Pray for Cindy and I that after CBV becomes a sponsoring organization, we will be successful in getting the next visa that is now required for us.

- Please pray for the ladies of the Bible study that they will apply what they will be learning. Also that the ladies will experience unity with one another and with the Lord as they fellowship together.

Thank you for your faithful prayer support

God bless you,

Pastor Rick & Cindy Johnston
