September 8 - Praises & Prayer Requests

Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week.  

Praise Reports:

- Praise the Lord: we will be baptizing up to three people at our church retreat in a few weeks!

- Praise the Lord - For the 16 ladies that have begun the women's Bible studies this past week and the enthusiasm to study and apply God's word.

- Praise the Lord: For the progress we've been able to make towards the filing of the church's application to be a sponsor for visas.

- Praise the Lord: He has been reaffirming his will for us to remain in
 Northern Ireland.    

Thank you for praying for the following with us: 

- Please pray with us for Jenny, a woman in our church who lost her brother due to a heart attack this Sunday. We are praying that she will feel the Lord draw near and comfort her and that the confusion in the family over funeral arrangements will be settled.

- Pray that the details necessary for CBV to a sponsoring organization for visas will work out quickly and we will have favour in the government's eye when it applies to the UKVI.

- 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.

- Pray: regarding our financial position, especially that the Lord will raise up some who will be able to regularly contribute monthly. 

Thank you for your faithful prayer support

God bless you,

Pastor Rick & Cindy Johnston
