week of prayer: meeting 9 ‘nations’
From early on in the life of Oasis we have lived with a passion, a drum beat of our mission to Birmingham, the nation and the nations. We live in a city whose strap line is a global city with a local heart. The hour this morning revealed this as we gave ourselves to pray for 5 different people, two couples and one individual who are getting ready to go to different nations. It was exciting to think that their stories are our stories.
It was such a privilege to give time to therefore pray for Richard and Alison Stunt as they get ready to go to Russia in August. To then go on to pray for Pete and Cheryl Lockhart who are in Brazil at the moment fact finding as they seek to get ready to go and to hear that already they have been a great encouragement to a brand new church plant in Rio. (the final individual I can’t highlight online)
It was so exciting to know that prayers we were praying at a Cricket ground in Birmingham were changing situations in three different nations!
