PLEASE PRAY FOR…
INTERNATIONAL: Japan - God's mercy upon the nation in reviving His Church and bringing many to repentance & faith in the One True
God. In the face of such tremendous upheaval, may the Holy Spirit bring revelation & comfort to those forced to question what they relied
on before. Egypt - "LORD, raise up strong men & women of true faith to preach Your message of Life. Bring protection and revival to
Your growing Church." Middle East - Libya, Syria, Jordan and other countries facing civil disorder - "GOD, reveal Yourself as their only
Saviour & Messiah! Have mercy on these precious yet deceived people! Give them a chance to believe in You." Israel - Oxford Prayer
Tour 5 - 14 April, & David Hathaway's mission 28 - 30 April.
NATIONAL: Keep praying for those servants of God who are given open doors in government circles to talk, share and challenge leaders
prophetically (i.e. what God says & thinks!) - for courage, protection & Holy Spirit power. UK is in a very critical situation!
LOCAL: For Open Air Service in Bury Knowle Park to be a worthwhile visible witness and that lives will be introduced to the Living God
and resurrected Christ! Pray for revelation in the Church of the power of the risen Lord Jesus Christ in us! (pray for what's in the diary).
Other Oxford Churches seeking their own (or new) buildings - CLC, Calvary Chapel, Chinese Church.
