Answered prayer and more to pray for

Thanks to those who have prayed with me for the new junior football activity.

This started well on Wednesday with 5 adult helpers. Thank you, Father God for providing.

Let's continue to pray for Libya, and God's mercy to avert bloodshed there. Also for good leaders for the future of that nation. People from Colchester Boiler Room Community meet every Monday at noon at 170 Berechurch Road to pray for the nations around the world.

Or you could book a personal prayer slot in the prayer room to pray for the nations...
