Prayer For The Local Area:
Abingdon Trevor Low, the pastor, is due to preach at the Anniversary of a church in Lisbon this weekend. The church is considering a possible second worker and hopes to arrange a second visit in the autumn. Quite a number from the church are involved in beach missions. Please remember these matters in your prayers.
Prayer For The Wider Area:
Carey Outreach Ministries - Carey School of Theology
Carey Outreach Ministries has been raised up by God to seek to serve the church of Christ by training spiritual leaders in developing countries.
In response to the ever-growing global need of training spiritual leaders, 1997 saw our first School of Theology opened its doors to over 40 students in Constanta, Romania.
Having spent five years building solid foundations in Romania, 2001 saw the Lord open a number of exciting doors across the globe for theological education. As an example, we started our second Bible Institute in Iloilo, Philippines with 72 students!
Opportunities to bring theological education are ever knocking on the Carey door. We hope not only to bring theological education to our existing Institutes in the Philippines, Cuba and Nepal but also to network in Cambodia, Mongolia and Hungary.
We are unable to contact Principal Warlito Monsalud, but he and the students are in great
distress.
As some of you are aware, there was a typhoon in the Philippines. It struck Iloilo where the William Carey School of Theology is located.
Here is the last email we received:
"Please pray we were rescued by two jet yesterday when we were near to die because of first big flood in the city many people died but we are alive. Some of our students are missing please help us pray almost nothing left in us." Warlito
Carey Outreach Ministries has had the privilege of serving in Iloilo, Philippines, for nine years. How we praise God for the lives that have been impacted by our faithful lecturers, field co-ordinators, jungle pastors and students.
Please pray that God will use this trial to further His work in the Philippines. Pray that He will bless and keep the Monsalud and the many students safe, and that they in turn will be able to reach out in Christian love to the hurting.

Outing
We have so much to thank God for - safety and good weather and Joyce's unstinting work for this trip. Also we thank God for the grace given to members as they were helped in showing His love and friendship to the many non-members on the trip. Pray that spiritual seed will have been sown.
