NBA Prayer Requests

We are asked to pray this week (beginning 10 April 2022) for our NBA

May the NBA be more and more a Christ-focused, Spirit-empower, Gospel-preaching network of churches, where we stimulate, encourage and enable each other in the love and grace of God to offer a personal redemption which is available through the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross

 

This will be my final NBA Prayer Request post as I have been requested to offer my resignation from the NBA Council which was accepted at our recent NBA AGM and Spring Assembly

 

Every blessing in Jesus

Mike Cross

NBA Prayer Requests

We are asked to pray this week (beginning 20 March 2022) for Great Asby Cumbria

Prayer requests    

We here at Asby along with the world-wide Church bring before our loving and just God the  situation  in Ukraine. 

We pray that God  might intervene, change  the hearts of the wicked, and bring peace to a war torn  nation.

Our thoughts  are with those who have been bereaved, are homeless and those who have sought refuge in neighbouring countries. 

We praise and thank you Lord  for the kindness shown in these countries. 

On a local level we continue to pray  for those who have health issues within the fellowship and in the village community. 

Help us to be a relevant Church in these situations. 

Yours in His  service 

Sheila  Taylor
