Week One, Thursday

"On Thursdays, the LCM team runs a Bible study at our day centre for homeless people, Webber Street in Waterloo, South London. Pray for open hearts among our guests; that they'll hear God's Word, grapple with it, and consider what it really means for them.

Week One, Wednesday

"John turned up at the The Bridge church in Battersea asking for help to understand the Bible. But he's schizophrenic, and his mind wanders. There are things he doesn't want to reveal about himself. We've thoughtfully shared the gospel with him, many times. Pray now that God will break into his heart." - From Pray for London

Week One, Tuesday

(I meant to post this earlier today, but school kind of ran away with me.)

From Pray For London: Missionary Martin Street ministers to those with mental health issues in Battersea, South London. He said, "If someone is vulnerable, they could easily be manipulated. I don't want to do that, but I need to be intentional and persuasive - because this is good  news. Pray I'll strike that balance."

Pray for London - Week One, Monday

Give thanks for Street Pastors, who have teams in all but two of London's boroughs. Praise God for night shelters and foodbanks across the city, and the vital support they offer to people facing desperate times. Pray too for churches active in their communities.

Pray for London - Week One, Sunday

On their website, www.lcm.org.uk, London City Mission has a five week prayer guide available. I invite you to join in praying for the City of London as I go through this prayer guide.

Week One, Sunday
Pray against anything which prevents women involved in prostitution from coming to our weekly Bible study in King's Cross, North London. "We focus on Jesus' stories of people on the margins," said LCM worker Laura Heffernan. "These women, they are so responsive to the gospel. They carry so much shame, but they really understand God's love."

The last update you'll have to read on my visa situation, honest.

This is indeed the last update on my visa you'll have.

Why is that? Because my application was successful.

I'm ecstatic, but there's a lot of work to get done before heading out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some schoolwork I should definitely look at.

God bless!
