Excerpts from New Peninsula Uganda Partnership Prayer Newsletter - June 2012
GOD’S ANSWERS TO THE PRAYERS OF HIS PEOPLE
In our last prayer request we asked that you pray for the Baptism. On Sunday 3rd June 2012 we were able to Baptize 67 people. We had a guest from Australia, a former pastor of the Church by the Bay called Greg. He did the Baptism with me. It was a very successful day. We did not know the numbers were going to be so big. The members came from all our new branch churches and from Bethel. We had about 35 women and 32 men. This is a sign that the church is growing.
On the same Sunday we dedicated over 80 Children. As numbers of Believers keep increasing, the number of children also grows.
We have had several leadership trainings. We can see that our leaders are growing very well. As churches increase, leadership trainings have become so vital.
BETHEL PRAISE
1. Give thanks to God for His wonderful blessings to all who took part in the children’s dedication and baptisms.
2. Thank the Lord for the enthusiasm of new leaders.
3. We are grateful for good health to be able to do the work God has called us to do.
BETHEL PRAYER
1. Continue to pray that each of our Churches will know God’s leading and blessing. Pray that the people’s hearts will remain open to the Spirit’s leading.
2. Pray for Pastor Vinnie and Grace. Pray that they will know God’s strength, encouragement, peace and joy as they shepherd the flock God has given to them.
3. Please prayer that Vinnie, Andrew and Aaron will soon receive their Visa’s for their trip to Australia. Pray that there will be no holdups but that the applications will be processed quickly.
4. Continue to pray for Mick, Andrew and Derek as they organise the program for when the visit takes place.
5. Pray for the Bethel Community Programs – Goats to widows, Micro Finance, Hire of equipment for big events, Children’s Club Medical work.
