Pray for Co‑Mission

Please join with us in praying for the Slavic Christian Fellowship, led by Sergey Chernov…

We praise God for:

• Regular Sunday Zoom meetings with our church members and friends, as well as to run Sunday school for children.
• Our first church picnic this year, which took place on 21 May in a local park. There were five unsaved friends who joined in conversations with other believers and had a great opportunity to hear about God’s love as well as personal testimonials.
• Us finishing online Bible school in the middle of May. Seven learners received their certificates.
• The NHS workers who saved our daughter, Elza, in April. She had a serious asthma-like attack and couldn’t breathe on her own. 
• A positive outcome of our application to extend our visa for another three years of ministry. 
• Our launch team members, particularly my wife, Hanna; our youth worker, Anastasiya; Liudmila; Virgil; and Insur.
• Vladlen, who came to faith recently.
• Us receiving financial support from Co-Mission for the next two years of our mission.

Please partner with us in prayer for:

• Wisdom in how to reach lost people through internet resources.
• Insur’s wife, Elena, who’s been unwell for more than half a year. 
• Our disciples Vladlen, Fanil, Kristina, Viktoria, Artyom, Roman, Anna, Irina, Igor, Liudmila and Virgil to grow in obedience to Jesus Christ.
• Our unsaved friends Roman, Yulia, Yurii, Renata, Devis, Liana, Mariya and Irina.
• Doors of evangelism to open up and God’s guidance in the next stages of the post-pandemic world. 

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

We would love to give thanks to God for:

• All the newcomers who have come to The Globe Church. Pray that we would serve them well and that they would feel welcome.

We would be grateful for prayers for:

• Our continued search for a building. Thank God for the team who have come together to help in the search!
• Mike Sohn and his family as they join The Globe Church. Please pray for a smooth transition.

Please join with us in praying for St Peter’s Fulham, led by Rupert Standring…

Give thanks to God for:

• Time as a church family studying Romans 8 together, in sermons and in home groups. We are grateful for God’s promise to us in Christ Jesus that we are not condemned!
• Children’s activities on a Sunday morning being able to reopen, meaning that we can now hold two adult services on a Sunday.
• New people joining our church family in recent months and of us hearing of the Spirit's work in their lives.

Please pray for:

• Our prayerfulness as a church, as we hope to plant a church in the coming years.
• An upcoming Christianity Explored course to point people to Christ and encourage faith in him.
• An Ofsted inspection to be carried out in time so that a new nursery can open in the church hall in September. This would provide us with a key source of income.

Please join with us in praying for Grace Church Muswell Hill, led by Philip Sudell…

Give thanks for:

• God’s grace in enabling us to function as a ‘scattered’ church during lockdown. Thank God as well that so many people were able to join us via YouTube.
• The involvement of children and young people in their Zoom groups and for the engaging material produced for them. Thank God too that children’s and youth groups can now meet in person, albeit with some restrictions.
• The way members have supported each other and others in the community.
• How the past year has encouraged us to look at new patterns for Sunday worship.
• The developing relationship between St Peter’s (in whose building we meet) and Grace Church – Philip Sudell leads both. Thank God too that following the recent St Peter’s annual meeting their church council now has members from both churches.  

Please pray for:

• Ongoing dialogue between Grace Church and St Peter’s as we seek to bring the two churches together, and for wisdom and sensitivity over some issues.
• Mutual understanding and support as we gradually move to meeting in person more, including for children’s work.
• Our children and young people, especially those who would have had exams this year. Pray that they would trust in the Lord for their future and seek to follow his path for their lives.
• Continued engagement with the local community and openness to what would be most helpful.

Please join with us in praying for Longheath Church, led by Arnie Pelosi …

Give thanks to God for:

• The young adults’ (18–25s) Bible study that is happening every Thursday at 7.30 p.m. – suddenly the Lord has brought together out of almost nowhere a dozen plus young people to study his Word online each week! 
• One of our members who is growing in leadership skills and recently constructed and led a Bible study for the first time. He doesn’t have any academic background but God is really inspiring him to get into the Word.
• Pastor Arnie being in a much better way with regard to his concerns about heart pains. Thank God too for helping Arnie to serve well in lots of areas.

Please pray that:

• We prepare people well for baptism and membership with our Membership Explored course. Pray that genuinely converted people are baptised and then stick with us as active members of the body of Christ.
• We decide how and when we are going to resume in-person fellowship, having been online since the outbreak of Covid-19. We also need to decide how much to make our church ‘mixed mode’ (i.e. how much to continue on Zoom) going forward.
• We would make the best use of the gifts of our seven new members – some are reading the Bible in church meetings, others are praying, some are helping with kids’ work, but we are still scratching the surface a bit.

Please join with us in praying for Mosaic Multicultural Church, led by Alex Brito…

Give thanks to God for the:

• New venue where we can gather as a church on Sunday.
• Opportunity to share the gospel on the streets of Elephant and Castle again.
• Event we ran during the Easter break specifically for Muslims we met through the International Cafe.
• Granting of Brito’s visa, which will enable Alex and his family to stay here for a very long time.

Please pray for:

• God to help us to engage with local residents during a community picnic on 23 May.
• God to give us opportunities to share the gospel with guests of the International Cafe and English for Everybody.
• God to help an American family who joined us in May to settle down at Mosaic and in the UK.
• God to keep providing the financial support Brito’s family need to stay in the UK.
