Website Usage
Give thanks for the significant increase in the use of all aspects of our website especially vimeo, where we host our videos of talks etc. This year we have seen the highest number of loads and plays to date and we have had contact from an astonishing 114 countries. Such has been the interest from China, it would appear that the authorities are actually blocking access to our site. Pray that God would continue to use the messages from this year’s convention to extend His kingdom around the world and that those seeking access will find a way.
Future Conventions
Continue to pray for the committee as we finalise the main plans for 2014 and also give thought to 2015 and 2016. Our desire is to return in one of these years to the Waterfront Hall after the success of out visit there in 2011 so please pray that we guided to right speakers for such an event.
Positive Feedback
Give thanks for the number of positive responses which we have had to this year’s convention both from agencies and individuals. These are a real encouragement and do pray that more will sign on to receive our monthly prayer updates to continue their support.
Churches in Sri Lanka
Ajith Fernando, who took our Bible Readings several years ago has written asking for prayer for the church in his native Sri Lanka. He writes,
"The situation faced by churches doing evangelism remains very serious. The churches of many of the people I have been ministering to recently are meeting in homes in groups of two or three families rather than in a church service. Attacks continue. Pray that the believers would stand firm and grow and that God would deepen the church through this experience of persecution. Pray also for more commitment to upholding religious freedom from the authorities."
