Praise God for how he answers our prayers – whether it is huge things like the provision of our new centre or finding suitable tables for the youth venue after several options were out of stock.
Please pray for the opening of the centre to young people on 18th and 20th May. The team will be talking to young people as they come home from school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week: giving out flyers and lollipops and telling them about the new centre. We will then start by opening every Tuesday and Thursday in term time from 3:30-5pm. Pray that young people come in, that they experience a warm welcome and that we start building relationships. Ultimately we want to introduce them to Jesus.
We are in the middle of our national Pray through May month of prayer. We are running our own 24/1 prayer room on Friday 21st – Saturday 22nd May. The first hour 8-9pm Friday 21st is a live stream and again the last hour 7-8pm on the Saturday. The overnight hours will be done from home, using a padlet board to collate any prayers, words, images etc. The centre will be open in the day for people to pray inside. You might like to come alone for an hour or bring some interested friends from church. If you would like to pray for us and our work for an hour then please sign up using this link.
Please continue to pray for Karen as she meets with church leaders and other Christian organisations so we can serve the town together. Give thanks for the successful meeting with West Kent College about Berti’s chaplaincy role there. However the paperwork has not been completed yet to enable Berti to be back on campus – pray that this would happen soon. Berti is also looking forward to getting back into Temple Grove academy to support some of the older children.
Finally we are having some success in promoting our new centre and the work we do via social media. If you have contact with young people please get them to follow us (we are encouraging adults to follow the main page if they want)
If you know anyone who would like to help us with our social media by giving us an hour or two a week of their time and expertise then please contact the office. Thank you.
