prayerdiary January - March 2017
Welcome
Welcome from the Chief Executive
P
rayer is so important to any Christian community, and all the more important for one where the proclamation of the gospel message is central. Church Army has always greatly benefitted from the blanket of prayer our supporters give, and I want to thank you for being part of this and using our Prayer Diary. This year will be an exciting one for us and we will be introducing a number of changes to make it easier to join in with what God is doing with us. One of the changes is that we are publishing the Prayer Diary now to run over three full months rather four as before. In this issue we have invited evangelists and members of the community to ask for prayer and have grouped these geographically. January often gives us all an opportunity to reflect on a new start with God, and recommit ourselves to follow him and be faithful. As we approach Easter and journey through Lent, I pray that God may be close to all of us, and bless all of us in our ministry of prayer, and the outreach that flows from it. As Church Army expands its work over the coming year, I am reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 9:37-38: “Then he said to his disciples ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’” Thank you for standing with us in prayer. You are part of our mission team. Please continue to pray with us and for us, that God may send his chosen workers into the harvest field and that they may see people come to faith in him. Yours in Christ,
Canon Mark Russell, Chief Executive and Community Leader To order more copies of Prayer Diary for your friends, church or group, please telephone 0300 123 2113 or email comms@churcharmy.org.uk
