April 11 - Praises & Prayer Requests

Praise Reports:
- Praise the Lord - the Amazing Jesus lessons in the P5 (4th grade eqivalent in the US) classroom  went well despite the unsettledness in the children. They understood the message

- Praise the Lord - The women's Tres Dias weekend came off really well, despite last minute illnesses that forced two team members to drop. There was a lot of laughter and deep renewal of faith in the 'guests.'

- Praise the Lord - The monthly prison visit to Maghaberry still continues as we are allowed to meet despite staff shortages at the institution.

- Praise the Lord -  Some new folks are making CBV their home church!

Please pray for the following with us:

- Pray for our friend Rhonda, a believer, who has had TIA's (mini strokes) in the eyes causing temporary blindness, especially that doctors can determine the root cause of the condition.

- Pray for Naomi (mid-30's and a mother of seven) who has been put on beta-blockers to slow her heartbeat and avoid heart spasms and racing heartbeats. The side effects are causing  great tiredness.

- Continue to pray for Erin (12) who broke her shoulder

- Pray for fruit from the Ireland 4 Jesus crusade that will be coming through Ballymena the last week of May. That we will as a church prepare for new converts to come to CBV and the members will accept and actively help disciple them. 

- Pray for success for Rick as I take on the leadership role over stewards (ushers) and counselors for the Ireland 4 Jesus crusade.

- Pray for Pastor Michael and his family of four in Norfolk-on-Tyne in England as they apply for permanent leave to remain in the UK.

- Keep praying for Mike in Warrington: 1) his body is attacking the liver with an auto-immune deficiency and 2) blood vessels in the esophogus are exposed and thinned and any rupture would be extremely serious.

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