VIDEO ARCHIVEIf you missed any of the talks from our international speakers, remember you can watch them again on our website. You can listen to Don Carson’s morning Bible studies and all the evening speakers from Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church.
MONEY MATTERSThanks to everyone for their kind donations towards God’s mission across the world. Remember, you can give all-year-round on our website and support the work on a regular basis through direct debit.
We had so many clear answers to prayer at this year's Convention that our priority at this time is to give thanks to our faithful and loving Heavenly Father for His goodness to us. God richly blessed us in so many ways such as the large numbers who attended the talks given by Don Carson, the increased interest shown in mission by young adults, students and teenagers, our satellite events and He even gave us a creche for the first time! Great is the Lord and most worthy of our praise. Please continue to pray for the ongoing impact of the Convention in the hearts and minds of those who attended and as a result may we hear of lives changed and new commitments made for the extension of the Kingdom.
Pray for the committee as we review Convention 2019 and, as part of this process, meet with many of the key participants to hear their opinions. May all these conversations be guided by God and please pray that we will form a view of how He saw the event which will be a solid foundation for future planning.
Pray for our committee meeting on the 9th of this month. We will hope to progress plans for next year and consider any new initiatives we might wish to take. Please pray that we will be guided by the Holy Spirit in all our decision making.
Give thanks for the many people who volunteer their help in making the convention work, from hosts to ‘taxi drivers’, in catering, stewarding etc. The list is almost endless but we could not function without them. Give thanks particularly for those who support us in prayer and pray that this will be a growing band.
Give thanks for the recent safe arrival of Tom, a second son for Keith and Ruth McIlwaine. Keith is one of our very faithful committee members.
