Prayer Notes from Friday 4 April 2025

​

Pray for the Sunday services. T McKenzie is due to take the morning service in KILWINNING and J Lim

the two services in AYR.

 

· Give thanks that we had Murdina M back in the church in Ayr on Sunday morning along with her daughter

Sandra and son-in-law Frans who are staying with her.

 

· We were pleased to have a couple originally from London with us on Sunday morning in Ayr one of whom

recognised Norman S from him having worked and worshipped in London in the 1960s.

He took that to mean he had hardly changed in all those years!

 

· It was encouraging to have another well attended prayer meeting in Ayr and we are thankful for this.

The meeting this week was led by Chris G and most of the time was spent praying.

 

· Continue to pray for the two ladies in care homes who are not able to attend church now – Isabel S and Irene B.

Pray too for May K whose attendance on Sunday morning is always such an encouragement to us, especially as she circulates round the tables in the hall afterwards.

 

· There are some in Ayr whose health means they are only able to attend church sometimes e.g. Jim S and Lucy M.

Please pray for them.

 

· Give thanks for all those who contribute in so many different ways to keep our small congregation running in both locations – elders, deacons, precentors, those operating the technology, those welcoming at the door,

those opening and closing, those setting up and clearing away, those serving teas etc.

 

· Free Church Youth Camps We’re looking forward to our Leaders and Cooks Training day on Saturday 26th April in Smithton. Please thank God for each of these volunteers and pray the day would be a chance to be equipped,

pray, and share ideas.

 

Dumisani

· Give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful graduation exercises at Dumisani Theological Institute, South Africa last month. Praise and thanks be to the Lord for those who graduated, the speaker, the donations of books

and the whole team who worked so hard to accomplish this event.

 

· Pray for the Dumisani Governors in South Africa concerning a possible discussion for a house beside one of the Dumisani campus buildings as a future additional male accommodations. It seems the one which

had been between campus buildings has been sold already. May the Lord's will be found in the way

forward in this matter.

 

Free Churches

Castletown and Community

· Pray for workers, as the Lord Jesus instructs us – men who would proclaim the kingdom of God and demonstrate

it in healing the sick. We need elders, especially in view of the minister’s planned retirement later this year.

 

· Pray that the Lord would open the hearts of those unsaved people who attend services, or have a connection

with the congregation, so that they would respond to the good news of Jesus. And ask that the Lord’s people

would be filled with the Holy Spirit and consequently be able to speak the Word of God boldly.

 

Dingwall

· Pray for growing opportunities to fulfil our mission of making disciples for Jesus, growing our love for Jesus

and making a difference for Jesus. Pray in particular for God's guidance as we prayerfully explore the possibility of running a Christians Against Poverty outreach from our church to serve the communities around us.

 

· Give thanks for God's provision of new families who have joined our church in the last year, for one new convert

and one person actively seeking faith attending our Hope Explored course. Pray that we would see more people

hearing and responding to the gospel as we make it known.
