Pray for Co‑Mission

The Globe Church

Please join with us in praying for The Globe Church, led by Jonty Allcock…

Give thanks for:

• The recent baptisms of three very different people: one who grew up in a Christian home, one who grew up in a non-Christian home and a guest from Webber Street.
• International Café, which runs every other week. Praise God that lots of people come along and some have come to church through this ministry.
• A growing number of families at church, both as a result of recent births and from new families joining us.

Pray for:

• Jonty and Linda’s sabbatical. Please pray for them to have a really good time to recharge and refresh over the next three months.
• Us, as a church, to grow in our evangelism. We would love to reach our local communities where we are placed and are engaging in some training for this. Please pray for us to grow in confidence to proclaim the good news to those in our communities and lives.

Streatham Central Church

Please join with us in praying for Streatham Central Church, led by Alex Lyell…

• Praise God that personal invitations to various events in the area over Easter led to more community engagement with our church. Pray that these connections would continue.
• Praise God for the safe arrival of numerous church babies and pray for others who are due soon. We’ve seen numerical growth in other ways too with some visitors who want to stick around. Pray that as we welcome them, we would enjoy loving and serving one another as God’s interconnected body. Please pray too that we would learn to ebb and flow according to the needs and pains of each person.
• Staff team growth along with shifts in eldership over the past six months means there are new initiatives and team changes bubbling away. Praise God for this. Pray that as we launch a new youth group in the summer and potentially a mums and tots group in the autumn, we would be doing so in dependence on God. Please pray too that the teams running the groups would be Christ-centred, above reproach, supportive and life-giving.

Pray for All Nations Church Barkingside & Clayhall

Please join with us in praying for All Nations Church Barkingside & Clayhall, led by Rick Raja…

Give thanks for the Lord for:

• The successful launches of various weekly Wednesday activities: a children’s club in a nearby refugee hotel, All Nations Hot Spot (a community hub) and English conversation classes.
• Over seventy children coming to our joint Holiday Bible Club, with one professing faith, and the growth of our fortnightly FAB Club (a Bible club for primary-school-aged children).
• Growth in our faith as a church through the books of Acts and 1 Thessalonians, on Sundays, and Romans, in mid-week house groups.
• Our Equip for Service training sessions over the last few months for service leaders, musicians, team leaders, members and the door-knocking team.
• Substantive funding enabling us to appoint and employ, for two years, our first cross-cultural ministry trainee from September 2023.
• A united and growing team of elders, trustees and staff.

Please pray for:

• Us to make the most of the opportunities presented by the King’s Coronation and over the summer.
• Us as we consolidate over the summer: building ministries we’ve started; deepening relationships; growing teams; and following up with people.
• Wisdom as we think about how we can better care pastorally for our members and specifically as we think through the potential launch of a women’s daytime Bible study group.
• Our ministry trainee to settle in well, strengthen our staff team and benefit from our fortnightly training in cross-cultural mission and entrepreneurial leadership.
• The Lord to continue to sustain us and bless our endeavours.

Pray for Grace Church Worcester Park

Please join with us in praying for Grace Church Worcester Park, led by Sam Williamson…

Give thanks for:

• Good numbers over the Easter weekend, including one lady who made a commitment to Christ after the Good Friday service.
• Increasing contacts within the community via our warm space initiative and coffee mornings.
• New people joining the church, including several single women. Please pray they settle in well and find appropriate ways to deepen relationships within the church family and serve.

Pray for:

• Us advertising for a church planter to lead a new congregation in the Stoneleigh area. Please pray the Lord provides the right person to lead this forward.
• Us relaunching Dads and Tots once a month on a Saturday morning. Please pray for enthusiastic volunteers and good relationships to be built with new families.
• Our pastor-in-training, Adam Jacques, who is moving on in July to a church in Wiltshire. Please pray for him and his family as they move and settle in a new town and church, but thank God with us for Adam’s faithful service at Grace Church.

St Paul’s Harringay

Please join with us in praying for St Paul’s Harringay, led by Pete Snow…

Give thanks for:

• God’s grace having met us and carried us through the winter. It’s been a hard winter, and many in the church are working hard, but the Lord has sustained us. We’re thankful.
• A happy and godly staff team: Katy (children and youth), Courtney (operations, part-time), Ben (ministry trainee), Sara (unpaid doer of lots of ministry) and Pete (pastor). Also for wonderful elders, wardens and lay leaders too many to name here.
• The ‘first lap’ of door knocking was completed just before Easter. We managed to knock on the door of every flat and house in our parish: 4,040 dwellings, 12,000 people, 133 Gospels given out, 1 in 5 people we spoke to wanting prayer, and lots of relationships to follow up on.

Please pray for:

• Us to have a big vision of our great God. Pray that he would fill our hearts and minds and we’d set our sights on godliness.
• Our mission week (14–21 May), especially an event on Friday 19 May with Olivia Harrison telling the story of sudden paralysis and faith.
• Grant funding for Ben Robinson’s second year as a ministry trainee. We need to raise £18,000 by mid-June.
• Wisdom and courage as we contend for the faith in the Church of England.

• Our ministry trainees to be growing in their love of the Lord, their knowledge of the truth and their gifting to teach that to others.
