(excerpts)
Give thanks that Hylma could have a Christmas/end of year celebration in both Maximum and Medium A today. Pray for the effect on the men of the cake, squash, toothpaste and flannels that people outside have been willing to contribute, and that what they’ve learned over the year will draw them closer to Jesus. Thank God for Hylma, in her mid-70s, her love and enthusiasm for ministering to incarcerated men.
The presentation for Jurgens (NetACT founder) went well. Pray for Fraser as he takes time off from day-to-day work over December to get on with one or two projects.
Our church in South Africa has an Elders’ Meeting on Thursday about issues raised over the past month. Pray that those hurt by various issues can put that to one side.
Pray also that neither Dawn, nor Ruth nor anyone they meet will catch any variety of Covid in Scotland and England during the coming week.
Pray that Dawn clearly communicates the amazing things God does and can do with ordinary, willing lives – at the Inverness East church lunch time prayer meeting on Wednesday, Highland International Church on Sunday morning and Zoom meetings for Drumnadrochit at 19:30 on Thursday and Dingwall Castle Street on Sunday night.
On Monday she and Ruth return to Glasgow before heading back to Lincolnshire on Wednesday. Then we’ll have a break from sending out weekly prayer notes until January.
