Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches
This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

Pray for our mission partners
In our cycle of prayers for our mission partners, this week we ask you to pray for the work of Stephen & Catherine McGoldrick. As leaders of WEC Africa, they are responsible for over 50 workers who are mission mobilisers for African missionaries in 19 countries. Since mid March they have been travelling around Southern Africa, visiting their teams and ministering alongside members of WEC. More information about our partners can be found on our website.
Please pray for:
- the family as they fly to Burundi on 24th May and settle back into life there
- Catherine as she home schools J & A
- the family as they pack up their house after 10 years and prepare to move to Tanzania
- Stephen not to have a flare up of his PMR (Polymyalgia rheumatica) or any more problems with his eyes
If you are aware of anyone who would like our prayers, or who would like the church family to share in some news, good or bad, please let Caroline know ([email protected]).
