‘The first was an elderly couple that I was trying to contact in order to arrange a pastoral visit. I phoned them several times over 3 days and decided to just call on the off chance, not something i would normally do. The couple welcomed me and discovered that their phone had not been replaced correctly, meaning that they could not receive any incoming calls. 

Not only were they grateful as they'd been awaiting a call from their GP Surgery but the lady said it was a very quick answer to prayer as they wanted to see me.

A second incident was after the annual memorial service when we'd handed out several ‘prayer squares' (knitted squares that we give to people who are unwell or bereaved to remind them that God loves them and we are praying for them). As I was travelling to church the following Sunday, I suddenly thought that I needed to replenish our stocks. Although thatwouldn't be too arduous a task, it was 'another thing' that I would have to make time for. I sent up a quick prayer asking for help to find the time to do this. However when I arrived at church, another church member gave me a bag containing 10 or 12 squares that she had knitted.

Another very quick answer to prayer!'
