Thought for the week:

"I will lift my eyes to the hills - from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."

Psalm 121:1-2

Prayer For The Church:

Pray for Lisa's dad Tom. He is in hospital at present and feeling a lot better. The tests have so far proved negative. Let's thank God for answered prayer.

Continue to pray for the beginning of the midweek meeting: mums and tots, children's hour, KIC club, rest hour and FOY. Particularly pray that the older children who are no longer eligible for KIC club will attend FOY.

Pray for Jonnie as he has returned to St. Andrews today and the commencement of the CU's outreach during Fresher's Week.

Pray for Paul as he speaks at Erith's bible study on Wednesday.

Prayer For The Local Area:

Covent Garden/Soho is the church on our Prayer Diary for the coming week. The church correspondent writes, "Praise God for the formal coming together of the two churches - pray for the outworking of this especially with the children's work. Pray for the locals and tourists."

Prayer For The Wider Area:

Zambia : Reformed Family & SOLA 5 Conferences ( 25th August - 3rd September 2007 )The Zambian Reformed Family Conference and the SOLA 5 conference were held recently at Kabwata Baptist Church in Lusaka, Zambia.
Monday evening saw the beginning of the 18th Reformed Family Conference. Emmanuel Sakala was the key note speaker on that occasion. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday saw 900 people gathered together for the family conference. We marvel how 4 churches managed to provide food and other logistics for so many people. What was truly amazing is that visitors from outside Lusaka were not expected to pay at all! The costs of feeding the multitude was borne by the hosting churches.
The Family Conference truly catered for the whole family. The young people had their sessions, and the women were ministered to by Martha Peace from the USA, best known for her good books that have helped so many women. The other speakers (also from the USA ) were Voddie Baucham and Jeff Noblit.

The 3rd SOLA 5 conference began on Thursday morning. Our theme " Biblical Love" was rooted in an exposition of 1 Corinthians 13. Whatever we may fail to be or to have - we must not fail to have the distinguishing marks of the church as outlined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Voddie Baucham, Jeff Noblit, Christo Beetge ( Brackenhurst Baptist Church -S.A.) and myself shared in the expositions of this great chapter. 250 delegates attended this Southern African conference. The delegates came from Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Swaziland and South Africa .
One of the components of this conference was the feedback concerning common projects undertaken by SOLA 5 churches. It is good to see our churches joining hands in meeting the needs of our suffering brethren in Zimbabwe. Some churches have joined hands to do church planting in Botswana. The South Africans are leading us in the establishing of a new Seminary ( Sovereign Grace Theological Seminary in Pretoria ) in association with the University of Africa . The Namibians and Zambians rejoice to see the growth of their churches in their respective countries.
