Galeed House, Sheffield UK The Boys Club restarted after closing for more than a year due to problem behaviour. A mixture of encouragements and recurring issues are an ongoing challenge to the volunteer team that runs the club. Ask the Lord to soften the hearts of these teenage Romani lads so that they come to know Christ. Pray for the club leaders to provide a programme that engages the boys well and meets their needs.

Galeed House, Sheffield UK Trustees and Staff are prayerfully exploring a second outreach centre in a different area of Sheffield. Many Muslim groups and Romani Slovaks live in this area. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead us in partnership with others so that we discern whether this is from the Lord. A key meeting of stakeholders is planned for January 16th.

Please pray for Agape UK campus ministry Fireseeds student conference 17-19 November. Please pray that many students will come to the event, that Christian students will be strengthened in their faith and emboldened in their witness, and that non-Christian students will come to faith as a result of the gospel talks and conversations they have at the conference.

Pray that God will call a National Director to lead the work in Britain. Since 2015 we have been praying for God to raise up a National Director for Britain.

Pray that the gospel message reaches children and that the ministry is promoted to partner churches, Bible Colleges and other Christian denominations.

This new journey of being a disciple-making community isn’t easy, and we are taking baby steps. We praise God for bringing a stranger to our home because, one Saturday, there was a knock at the door, and a lady from the far side of the street just turned up while we had a Bible study, and she stayed and joined in. Please pray for God’s faithfulness and for miracles to keep happening.

Praise the LORD for His continued work within the UK Church fellowships and for connecting Al Massira to other like-minded organisations, as we partner together in God’s work. Please pray for the current Al Massira Online UK Training and for the widespread use of the AM film resources to be used amongst refugees and asylum seekers from all backgrounds within the United Kingdom.

Pray for WEC’s Youth team preparing for WEC Camps in North Wales this summer from 30th July to 12th August. Pray the publicity would reach the right young people, that many would participate and have fun and make new friends but pray also that these 9 to 17-year-olds will be impacted by God’s love for them and His calling to love others. Pray for God to sustain the planning and organisation to set up and run these camps in an empty farmer’s field each year.

When 'D' goes into town to chat with Turks in coffee shops topics like purity, prophets, how God speaks, and miracles come up. One man recently talked about the wonderful properties of the water from the Zamzam well in Mecca. This led to an opportunity to tell him of Jesus' meeting with the woman at the well. Pray for this man to be thirsty for the Living Water.

One 'English through the Bible' course has doubled in size. One couple invited their new Turkish neighbours who came along, praise God for their spiritual openness. Another Turkish group have been affected by illness as well as grief over the earthquake, so are down to five irregular attendees. Pray for them to be impacted by their study in Mark's gospel.

Please pray for the Christian leaders as they continue to seek to care for their people, particularly as many churches are still struggling after the pandemic and supporting their people pastorally through this current cost of living crisis. Pray particularly that they may find opportunities to be refreshed and supported themselves, particularly as they continue to pour out in their ministries, and that those who need more specific support may reach out to those around them and organisations like Living Leadership for one-to-one support.
