NBA Prayer Relay for 10th July - Thornaby BC

We can give thanks:

We ask for prayer:

• Pray for God to change lives at the Food Bank.
• We need a person who can relate to youngsters and bring them together.
• We need a way forward and give thanks for present opportunities and a way to develop them.
• We want to grow - spiritually, as well as numerically - and for this purpose we have been given opportunity to work with a retired minister who will be the Mission Pastor from September.
