Intercessory Prayer
Each month prayer requests that have come into the centre are allocated to teams of
home intercessors who have committed themselves and a portion of each day to pray for the
people and situations presented to them in the monthly prayer letter.
Home intercessors are always welcome please apply.
Dear Intercessors,
‘Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift’, (2 Corinthians 9v15). We hope
that you had a wonderful Christmas as you celebrated the wonderful gift of the
Father in sending Jesus to us on earth. We have just been out to our annual
family jaunt to the pantomime; lots of glitter, jokes and even some flying
through the air – magical moments whether you are 2 or 52!), it hardly seems a
year since the last visit!
There is a saying, “You’ve got to get out more” - well, we’ve done that a
fair bit as a Centre in 2011; whilst Randy and Dorothy ministered away from the
Centre from time to time, we rarely did so as a team, whereas 2011 saw us off to
quite a few places – Uganda in January, Yeadon (Leeds) in May and Heswall (The
Wirral) in September. Plus of course we moved out of Beggar’s Roost to West
Denton. It is great that as we look back we can see some of the fruit of those
trips, e.g. we keep hearing encouraging things from the people in Uganda
regarding more people being healed; and Yeadon have invited us to go back again
next year to minister; and we keep in contact with some lovely folks from
Heswall who said they learnt much from our visit. As we look ahead we see Randy
going to Calcutta next week and we have many more invitations to places,
especially abroad, and are planning on a couple of mission trips each year.
Randy is off to the Grand Bahamas in May, (tough, but someone’s got to do it!)
Additionally in 2012 hopefully a follow up trip can be arranged to Uganda.
The apostle Paul says, ‘Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work
of the Lord’ (1 Cor 15v48). The Lord wants us to be busy, but it is vital that
we go where God directs us to go as that’s where the fruit will be. Jesus talks
about the seed sown in good ground being like the ones who have heard the word
in an honest and good heart and hold it fast and bear fruit with perseverance’.
I love the way that as God calls us to minister to people, then those people go
out and minister. ‘You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to
go and bear fruit – fruit that will last.
Many times during the past 2 to 3 years as I typed in ‘please pray for the
sale of Beggar’s Roost’, I thought to myself it will be great for Randy and Jen
when one day this happens. Well praise God, it has! Randy and Jen moved into
their temporary home at High Mickley, near Stocksfield on 23rd Dec. It is a very
special rental property with lovely views and plenty of room to store their
furniture, for which we thank God. Thanks for your prayers.
Please pray for;
